The answer

To repent from sins, one should repeatedly seek repentance, strive against one's desires, never despair of oneself, and defy Satan. For in overcoming one's whims, there is a pleasure that surpasses the pleasure of the sin itself. One must beware of Satan beautifying sin, and reflect on its dire consequences. Prayers are among the greatest means of recovering from evil, so one must maintain them diligently.
