The Bible tells us that Moses refused to enjoy the pleasures of sin. He chose to rather suffer afflictions with the people of God. To come out of the bondage of addiction, we must discipline ourselves and refuse the pleasures of sin.
There is pleasures in sin
Sin has pleasure. There is really pleasures in sin. Those feeling of sinful instinct make us to have a feeling of something pleasurable. There is pleasure of different kinds in something that entices our flesh.
Our flesh loves pleasures. We always want those things that makes our flesh excited. When we continue nursing and feeding our flesh with these pleasures, that is how we become addicted to those carnal pleasures.
