Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. (Romans 6:12-14)
Do not allow yourself to be a slave to sin, which would drive you to sin. Also do not let any part of your body do something that will lead you into sin but rather obey God and do things that will lead you to a restored relationship with him. The reason we can do the above is that we can be free from addiction to sin by the grace of Jesus, which we trust in to save us; rather than the law, which we trust to tell us why we need saving but we are not saved by.
Sin comes in many forms. If you feel guilty about it, don't do it. Don't do things that you know will weaken your resistance to sin. Do things that you know will strengthen your resistance to sin. Do not allow one sin to cost you your life. Jesus can give you the will and the strength to do all this, just ask him.
