“When temptation comes around, don’t talk to it. Don’t stick around so you can test how strong you are at resisting it. Don’t explain to it all the reasons why going with it would be a bad idea. Don’t rationalize that you are only going to chit-chat with it a little bit but not go with it. Don’t convince yourself that you are just going to take a stroll with it for a little while and then walk away before you go ’too far.’ Just get away from it.”

(Genesis 39:12)
When you are tempted to do anything wrong, get the heck away from that thing, get away as far as possible. Do not dwell upon the temptation, just get away. Do exactly what Jospeh in Egypt did. If you cannot run away from the temptation, because it is not the type of temptation you can get away from, get out your scriptures or start praying. Rely on the strength of Jesus Christ. Temptations loose their power when He is near.
