    What is sin

    Sin is a common thing

    11  Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
    12  Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned—
    13  for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law.
    Romans 5:11-13

    Sin is NOT simply breaking rules or not doing what you should

    20  Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.
    Romans 3:20

    6 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it."
    Genesis 4:6-8

    habit management  vs. addiction

     ...you must master it...
