Have any one practiced abstinence and celibacy?

From October 2011 until about 2014, I practiced celibacy. It brought me closer to G-d and I developed spiritually. There are no health benefits from it. Although, sometimes boxers/ mma fighters practice celibacy before the fight because it is supposed to give them added adrenaline. Practicing celibacy was difficult for the first 9 months to a year. after that, it wasn't so bad. At one point, I actually became afraid that I was going to lose my sexual desire for women. That was scary because I knew I didn't want to be celibate forever. Once I saw a woman naked again, I became a freak again.
