Make wudhu, as it purifies sins
Occupy yourself with something else, preferably an act of worship. An unoccupied mind is a target for shaytan
Try to avoid seclusion wherever possible.
If you do fall into a sin, then immediately repent to Allah. Make a firm intention never to repeat it again. Follow it up with a good deed (e.g. charity).
إن الحسنات يذهبن السيئات
Verily, good deeds take away bad deeds

In this way, the nafs will eventually avoid the sin
