an untrained mind is like a tv playing 100+ channels all at the same time and you just can't find the remote control.
have you ever heard of MINDFULNESS?
the practice of mindfulness is really great as it does not force you to believe in anything... any religion or faith. all it asks you to do is to become more aware, more sensitive of yourself as well as of your environment. nowadays, mindfulness has been proven to be really effective in managing stress; in fact, some therapies are based on the practice of mindfulness.
personally, i'd say it's as hard as hell but i think it's worth trying. it takes a while for one to gain control over his/her mind but it's not impossible.
i've included a link to one of the web sites that talk about it.

First off, ask yourself this: "who's driving the car?" Meaning who is control of you? When you answer that, you're well on your way to self control.
Practise silencing your thoughts. Just listen to the sounds you hear. Don't think about the noises, or analyze what the noises might be, just listen.

Don't let emotions outweigh your thoughts. For a beginning, try controlling pangs of lust by diverting your mind towards something else.
