The answer

It is obligatory to avoid sin and to repent immediately from it by refraining from it, regretting it, and resolving not to return to it. The basic principle is that an oath is broken by the first instance of violating it, and expiation is not repeated, unless it was intended, or the wording necessitated it, or custom indicated it.
