I agree with the previous comment. Also, lying on your bed on your back, allow your head to hang off the edge. You should feel a stretch all the way from your neck down your spine. A massage therapist told me this is good for stretching because I work at a computer all day.

That's really good advice it helps me a lot
Gym makes wanders to your posture (and body in general), squats and deadlifts were the best for me.
I think a lot of the answers here aren't addressing the problem OP is bringing up-- falling back into bad habits. The key to avoiding that is arguably far more difficult than learning what exercises to do and how often.
I am a pretty tall guy, so I tend to slouch a lot. People always tell me about my bad posture. I have done really nothing to fix it. Waiting for suggestions from other people.
Lol, I'm also tall and I tend to slouch a bit because I want to be on other people's level. I think we just have to accept that we're taller and stand up straight, I have to remind myself.
Physical therapy.
I had back pain following an accident, correcting my posture removed the pain. The therapist will design exercise based on your "profile" and needs.
Also having someone with some sort of authority telling you what to do helps to stay on tracks (plus you pay for it).
doing regular excercises every day for at least an hour
Learn Argentine Tango.
I did using kettlebells and lifting weights.
