Freedom is a complicated issue, as at face value it simply means the ability to choose what we do each day.
However, according to the Bible, freedom is about always choosing to do good.
For example, St. Paul reflects on freedom in his letter to the Galatians.
This ability to choose the good is also explained in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
A Christian vision of freedom is more of an interior freedom, one that is not bound by habitual sin, but set free by the grace of Jesus Christ.
We may be "free" to choose whatever we want, but to use that freedom to sin is actually an abuse of freedom. By doing so, we are no longer free, but slaves of sin.
If sin has weighed you down, ask God to set you free, so that may use your freedom for good and not be led into the darkness of sin.
