Yes we can stop sinning because sin is rooted in a defiled heart. Jesus is able to purify your heart whereby the love of God is shed within. Then it is out of love that we walk in victory over sin.
Sure we may fall short in ignorance, but ignorance is not rooted in a wicked heart. Thus the sins of the flesh, ie. unjust anger, tempers, immorality, lust, selfishness all cease. We instead walk by a faith that works by love and love works no ill. That is what the Bible teaches.
Gal 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
Rom 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Rom 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Rom 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Many people simply do not want to believe such because they refuse to forsake their sin. They refuse to crucify their old man in repentance, thus the old man (man of rebellion) still lives. The old man has to die once and for all in repentance whereby we may be raised up to newness of life as servants of righteousness.
Remember Jesus taught of the grain of wheat which must die in order to bear fruit. That is about us. If we lose our lives we will save them, if we save our lives we will lose them. We have to die to sin in repentance whereby we escape the corruption that is in the world through lust.

There is the sin of ignorance.
You are in the flesh and the law is spiritual.
Romans 7:10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
Romans 7:11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
Can you come to the realization that the law which you think is ordaining unto life is really to be used by God to put you to death by God alone?
