Remember the childhood game "Red light -green light" where you and others lined up on a line across from a leader. When the leader said "Green light." you could start moving forward, until they said "Red light."
The "Temptation Game" is just called "Red light."
As soon as any thought comes into your head that you know will lead you eventually to being tempted, just say "Red light," either silently or out loud. Then will yourself to start thinking about something else. If the wrong thought persists, persist in saying "Red light" and striving to think of something else.
2Co 10:5 says "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ:"
This has worked for me. I hope it works for you. It may take some practice and effort at first, but depending on how bad you want to control your thoughts, you will see your own level of success.
