It's normal.
A warm word, the main goal here is not about how many days, but how we got to that many days. Being sober is about changing the way we handle the triggers that make us fall.
Have you been in Flight to freedom program yet? 
When 2 yidden get together, it is two nefesh elokis (godly souls) against one nefesh hebehamis (animal soul)

From what you've posted, it sounds like you've been masturbating almost daily for many years. I'd be more surprised if you were able to instantly stop. 
As m111 suggested, have you tried the F2F program? Spoken to anyone (HHM)? Worked on stopping fantasizing? Have you spoken to your therapist about this difficulty stopping?

In short, what are you doing to try to stop?

I have not tried f2f what is it? What is hhm? I did speak to my therapist today he did give me methods to work on and we spoke about trauma that I still have which may be the cause.

Flight to freedom is GYE's online program that will help you work on some basic tools (motivation, mindfulness techniques and more) to help you get clean. HERE is the link. Some really helpful videos on there.

HHM is a very wise member of the forum who has helped many people get clean. 10/10 recommend having a good schmooze with him.
