Praying for you!
The first step is: do you cut the cause(s) of sin?
Step two: do you avoid to talk with the respective thoughts?

I can add more on topic but what I will add depends if you do these steps above or if you do not.

I am currently having problems with a particular sin in my life. It is habitual, every time I am in need, I will commit this sin.

Please pray that I overcome it!
"Be not anxious about anything [including your besetting sin (my addition)] but by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, make your requests know to God, and the peace of God that passes all understanding will keep your heart and mind in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7).

This is the first thing to do when struggling with a besetting sin that hangs on like fleas on a dog. When you have put your request to God for Him to remove it, then the first thing you receive is absolute supernatural peace (that is what the peace of God is, not a natural peace). Then the Holy Spirit starts to make that sin less attractive to you day by day until the day comes when it falls away from you.

Having that besetting sin does not cancel your salvation because you are already righteous in Christ, and have been delivered from the penalty and power of sin; but there is still the presence of sin which is overcome day by day as we grow in grace and faith in the Lord.

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to humanity. God is faithful, and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape so that you are able to bear it.​
