God gave us the Law - the Ten Commandments - the ministry of death - not as a guide for perfect obedience but that we might have no doubt about our guilt.

2 Corinthians 3:7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory."

Saved from what? The gospel teaches that we are saved from God and the just wrath and punishment that we deserve for sin. Christ received that punishment from God the Father on the cross, in our place, to satisfy our debt of sin. Hopefully, sanctification will follow and the curses of addiction and an unhappy life will become the new creature's experience...
