“What is “perfect repentance”? This is when a person is faced with some thing in which he has sinned in the past, and he has the opportunity to do it again, but he turns away and does not sin because of teshuvah, not out of fear or through lack of strength.” Maimonides, Laws of Repentance (Hilchot Teshuva), 2:1
