(Gospel) Some simple spiritual principles can always sink in deeper and deeper.
We are all sick, and God is our physician! That, in and of itself can go a long way.
What we struggle to understand is WHERE we are sick - and HOW are we to approach God with our illnesses.
A longstanding means for inner growth is the particular exam. Take a weakness that bothers you a lot, or that you confess all the time and dedicate 5-10 minutes a day reflecting in prayer on where and when you fell into that sin during the day. Then ask yourself WHY. Taking notes will help you to understand over time the pattern of vice you live. Make sure to finish resolving with God's help to remove obstacles, or to foresee occasions of weakness, or to simply have more recourse to humble prayer when tempted.
After time, with assiduous efforts, and humble petition, you will find that God will help you to slowly but surely root out vices, one at a time.
