You know your vice, so use it for growth.
That's just an example. Find the sweet spot where you can use your issue to help you resolve the issue and achieve other goals along the way.
Another reward will be better.This one can bring back the addiction.
I agree that it would be most beneficial to use another reward, but sometimes you need to use less than optimal to get over some bad obstacles.
I would never say using weed is a good idea, but I've known addicts who were able to successfully avoid a heroin relapse by using weed short term. Not always and it isn't the best idea, but it's better than a relapse.
Everything is conditional. If you cant go more than 5 days without masturbation then you need to get downright sneaky and use some rule breaking tricks to get into a better place.
This is all just my opinion and I admit I could be wrong.
