2 Peter 2

16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbade the madness of the prophet.
17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

I remember joining the church (and any religion) and telling people about it; a common question I got was, "isn't it limiting?" "aren't there a lot of rules?" But I also remember living the way I did before I became a Christian. Drinking and drugs brought me into bondage, they controlled me. Caffeine controlled me on a lesser level. Junk food controlled me. Eating disorders controlled me.

Following the rules is freeing. Not having those addictions is freeing. Being a servant of corruption is. Always needing the next high whether it comes from gambling (not my thing...) or drugs or anything.
