The Bible is very clear on the Christian stance when it comes to addiction. If you put any substance or item before your love and dedication to God, you will not be in a state of grace. Although the Bible condemns addiction, the Bible writers also provide readers with a sense of hope once you fully commit to God and his will. 

1 Corinthians 15:33 cautions against giving into any type of temptation by saying, “Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”  

Galatians 5:1 states, “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”

This quotation reaffirms the fact that you must stand strong against giving in to your addiction and that God will always stand with you.
