Every believer has, at one time or another, lamented his or her inability to stop sinning. While we tend to think the problem stems from weakness in ourselves, the inability to stop sinning usually indicates a deficiency in our understanding of God's strength. When we do not understand His power to save, forgive and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9), we can get caught in a destructive cycle of sin, guilt and fear, which leads to a lack of joy in our salvation, which leads to more sin.The only way to break the cycle and stop sinning is to accept the fact that we cannot stop sinning. This may seem contradictory, but if a person does not stop trying to save himself, he will never rest in the knowledge that God has saved him. The joy of salvation comes from accepting the fact that God's grace covers us, that He will change us and conform us to the image of Christ, and that it is His work, not ours (Romans 8:29; Philippians 1:6; Philippians 2:13; Hebrews 13:20-21).

once saved always saved but you need to repent for your sins
Jesus never said any of this. All of this story about the blood of Jesus washing away the sins of the world was added long after Jesus was ascended.
Well, first off, you need to make it a goal not to keep putting those things before God. Do whatever you can to not do those things. You could fast from them, and after the fast, limit yourself on how much you do them. Second of all, we all sin, which is why Jesus died on the cross. Repent and ask for his forgiviness. Third, I believe true salvation is by getting filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. We have a much better understanding of it when we have the Holy Ghost. Pray and seek God on that subject. Also, it doesn't sound like you are totally backsliden. But if you think you are, repent and ask God to send HIs Spirit in your life. God bless!
Hebrews 10:261
For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth there no longer remains a sacrifice for sin.
There is no 261 sorry
The bible says you can sin all your life, but on your deathbed, if you repent and accept Jesus and God, you will be saved
To me there is a difference between salvation and sin. We are saved by grace, but we are judged by our sins. In my opinion divine judgement isn't a simple 'pass/fail' test.
As always, your opinion may vary.
I think you need to let God help you with this one before you can truly repent. Repentance is a process in which one forsakes that sin. I don't think you're at that point yet but luckily, our God is a patient and loving God. Keep His commandments, keep the faith, endure to the end, and repent, pray, and read your scriptures often. God judges us by the intents of our hearts. And we are saved by grace after all we can do. So do your best! God appreciates that and notices it. But yes, that's what the atonement is for. we are never too far to return again.
If you are truely saved then first you try to live as God wants you to and try not to sin and secondly you cant ever lose your salvation. As humans we still screw up on occasion and thats when we ask for forgiveness. If you cont to live a deliberately sinful and disobedient lifestylei would venture to say you were never truely saved to begin with. Recieving true salvation means recieving God into your heart and becoming a NEW person in Christ.
No one is saved by Christ, and none will ever be. Moral justice can not take the innocent for the guilty, even if the innocent were to offer himself voluntarily. God, being the source of absolute morality, can not act immoral -- if there is god!! However, you are NOT to "sin", not because you are insured by some supposed redemption, but because that is the right thing to do.
All you have to do my friend too stay saved is confess your sins and put effort in trying not to do it anymore, if course mean it from your heart. And trust and believe Jesus died for you. You'll be fine
