Well, judging from the Qu'ran and hadith I related to, it seems that all you need to do is repent. The repentance has to be sincere though; you must mean it, and you must have an intention never to go back to that sin again.
And if you ever go back to the/a sin, repent sincerely.
"If I performed a sin – O Prophet of Allah – would it be recorded?
The Prophet answered: Yes.
The man said: what if I repented?
The Prophet said: It will be erased.
The man added: What if I returned to the sin once again?
The Prophet answered: It will be recorded once again.
The man said: What if I repented?
The Prophet said: It will be erased.
The man said: What if I returned again?
The Prophet said: It will be recorded.
The man asked: What if I repented?
The Prophet said: It will be erased.
The man said: What if I returned again?
The Prophet said: It will be recorded.
The man asked: What if I repented?
The Prophet said: It will be erased.
The man asked: Until when will it be erased?
The Prophet (SAWS) answered, “Allah does not stop bestowing His forgiveness until you get bored of asking for it.”
