Start by saying "No!"
Today I started getting a slight urge ... I banged my hand against the table in a gesture of "NO! not going there" , all my good ideas are very good after the initial decision that it's not even a remote option to let the urge go further.
The sefer divrei yechezkal (shinev) says by yosef hatzadik on the word וַיְמָאֵ֓ן (he denied to be with the wife of potiphar) the reason there is a shalsheles there is that when the yetzer comes to a person to tell him to sin, don't start to argue and explain to him why not to do it, he's much smarter than you and you'll lose...just say NO!!!!!! 3 times!then you can start having discussions and telling him the reasons... #DavidT[1]
