You're about as free as you're capable and willing to be.
Of course, one man's definition of "freedom" might vary greatly from that of the others. Sometimes so much that they are in conflict with one another.
How you define "free will" has a lot to do with whether you believe it to exist or not. Just like with "God". If you think God is a bearded man in the sky, then you're probably less likely to believe in the concept. If you believe free will to be absolute control and freedom of choice over our actions, thoughts, and our "destiny", then you're probably less likely to believe in that concept, as well.
