So are some sins in the lives of believers. Some sins are easy to overcome but some are like creepers because they entangle the believer's spiritual life crushing it and making it unproductive.
Trying to remove creepers that have entangled the sapling or growing plant is difficult. If one tries to remove it from the top, it invariably pulls the plant apart, so the best thing is to pull out the root of the creeper. It will soon dry up no more harming the plant.
Sins that entangle the spiritual lives of believers have to be pulled out from its roots. It's no use dealing with them from the top i.e. sinning and confessing, sinning and confessing. As Jesus said, whatever is making us sin must be removed from our very presence. Dirty books, novels, TV, Internet (i.e. if you don't know where to stop in dealing with these channels of entertainment) or anything that leads us into sin must be cast aside so that it will no longer entangle our spiritual lives and make it unfruitful.
