Puritan,
"In a nutshell" I agree totally with what you say, although I'm still thinking of more specific acts of confession and repentance for specific sins, which certainly eventually involves "putting off" or "turning away."
I like the way J.I. Packer puts this in Hot Tub Religion:

Quote
The form that sanctification takes is conflict with the indwelling sin that constantly assaults us. The conflict, which is lifelong, involves both resistance to sin's assaults and the counterattack of mortification, whereby we seek to drain the life out of this troublesome enemy.
