slaves to righteousness

A big part of Romans 6 focuses on being "slaves to righteousness". A question came to me while reading:
Do we choose to be slaves to God/ righteousness? Meaning is it a conscious decision separate from conversion that we, by our choosing, make?
This verse makes we wonder if being set free from sin and becoming slaves of righteousness are one and the same? Are all who have been set free from sin slaves of righteousness?
Hope I'm making sense here. If not, I'll try to clear things up.

Romans 6:17-18But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness
