Roman Catholic Answer

You, under your own power, can not avoid committing the seven deadly sins. The seven deadly sins are the mothers of all sins, we are fallen creatures, with a fallen nature, and Satan is constantly tempting us, telling us that we are too weak to even try.

The only way to overcome the seven deadly sins, or any sin for that matter is to make a real, concerted effort, each day, every day, all day long, to live a Christian life. You start by acknowledging your sinfulness and going to confession. If you are not already a Christian, you start by going to lessons and being baptised. After confession, which should not be made lightly, get a good book to help you make a good confession (see the links below), then make a good confession every week or two for the rest of your life. When you are in a state of grace, make a good Holy Communion. And pray, at least 30 to 60 minutes every single morning before doing anything. Get on your knees, acknowledge your fallen nature, and ask God, most sincerely for his help. You will have to continue praying every day, going to confession every week or two, and Holy Communion at least once a week.

The third book below, Introduction to the Devout Life is an excellent way to start on this journey to God. Good luck on your journey, you are in my prayers each day!
