"...knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin;" Romans 6:6
A believer in Christ cannot be addicted,
because,
A believer in Christ is no longer a slave to sin.
Why would a believer in Christ appear to be addicted to... (whatever)?
He or she is not fully understanding and believing Romans 6:6.
"We know that our old (unrenewed) self was nailed to the cross with Him in order that [our] body [which is the instrument] of sin might be made ineffective and inactive for evil, that we might no longer be the slaves of sin."
"Give yourself up to Him, take yourself out of your own keeping and entrust yourself into His keeping." That is an absolute requirement.
"So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed." John 8:36
Believe it and you are free indeed. HE tells you, "Trust Me and I will deliver you."
He is enough. Your sin is not beyond His power so that you need Him plus... (something else). He is enough. The work is already done by Him.
Walk through that open door of freedom. Grasp that life-saving rope that is within your reach. It has been there all along.
Anything else is saying that He is not enough.
