Alan,
"Have you confessed your SINS............. If not by what means do you think you can rid yourself of impurity to receive purity. How can one rid themselves of sin if they themselves are sinners"
The best way to rid yourself of sins is to be honest with yourself, and admit your mistakes. If you do, and correct them, they are gone forever. Choosing to identify yourself as a 'sinner' is an unfair judgement upon yourself. In so doing, you choose to dwell upon darkness, and not light. This is like one who always imagines that they are sick becoming so. A corrected mistake provides a learning experience, and if we honestly did not know any better, we could not have done otherwise at the time. What was seen as a mistake becomes a source of learning. Jesus body died upon the cross to show you that sin, death, and Satan are powerless over the perfection of spirit that is really you. He did this so that you might be healed. To continue to emphasize those things he sought to free you from seems to me counterproductive to seeing light, and a positive outlook on life.
