Stoicism
I want to be a stoic who rejects all the degeneracy of the modern-day world, Reject Lust(p0rn), Reject Greed and Gluttony(Mass Consumerism), Reject Sloth(Procrastination), Reject Pride, Reject Wrath, Reject Envy.
But I don't think I have the strength to overcome these they overpower me every day it been a constant 5 year battle since I was 12/13

First things first; keep your goals realistic. From there, choose which vice you want to conquer first and go from there.
Don't beat yourself up for failing, it's a natural part of overcoming obstacles and improving. Even as a Stoic you will fail. The best thing to do is learn from your failures and try again.
Read up on the greats like Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus etc. Study their works and figure out how to apply it to modern day life. Again, be realistic about it. I cannot reiterate this enough.
