Problem with stopping my board

So i’ve gotten into skating recently (Skating for under a week) and I’m confident in riding (I ride my board to the shops, parks, football training etc) but the only thing which I am having trouble with is stopping my board. I really dont know how to go about it because If i lift my board up it ruins the wood and then If I use my shoes the shoe soles get ruined. I also know that people use the powerslide but that look like an intermediate thing and it also causes wheel bite? Correct me if I’m wrong. I would like to know what you guys do to stop your board, or if you could recommend how to stop for a noob like me,thanks.
