Yes. Exactly. I think we'd call this avoiding the near occassion of sin.

Drawing boundaries around the actions that lead to the thoughts that lead to the sin.

"I think we'd call this avoiding the near occassion of sin."

I have a close friend who was an inter venous heroin addict. Got saved and delivered from the addiction but developed hepatitis from the abuse. The regimen included injections that he had to give himself every day. His testimony is the sting is the but the high isn't there. What is interesting is the Lord has seen he now has the strength to endure a habit that once was the occasion to sin.
