  gameObject.active = false;

or if you want to do it once the script is set to disabled

 void OnDisable()
 {
       gameObject.active = false;
 }

Not this will only affect the gameObject the script is attached to.. if you want to apply the effect to all children also

  gameObject.SetActiveRecursively(false);

After calling that, would all subsequent lines of your script not be called?

Yes any attached monos and methods will stop being called. Except for OnDestroy or OnEnable, Start etc if the object is destroyed or enabled again respectively.
