Sin; it will restrict you, it will control you, it will get you to do things you hate and will ultimately KILL YOU!!! Get rid of it, go to Jesus for help; that is why he came to earth in the first place!
Cut the cord, change your ways, do what you have to do- NOW!!! And once you do, you will be free to reach your full potential (now would be a good time to view the picture).
But, what if you are already a Christian?
Listen to the words of Paul, the Apostle of Jesus...
Romans, Chapter 6 (WEB)
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer? 3 Or don’t you know that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection; 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him; 9 knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him! 10 For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God. 11 Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. (emp. added vss. 12-13) 14 For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.

Don't try to live the Christian life and the non-christian one at the same time. You became a Christian to follow Christ, so do it. You can't hold hands with the Devil and walk with Christ at the same time!!!
Cut the cord of sin- once and for all; LIVE FOR CHRIST AND CHRIST ALONE!!! JUST DO IT!!!
