for anyone who cares literally at all I have to confess something. I've been struggling massively with addiction for a while now. I'm not exactly comfortable saying what the addiction actually is but I've been trying for months to quit. and every single time I try, I succumb to the temptation. I'm making a mockery of Jesus's sacrifice, and I hate it, and I want nothing more than to be able to overcome my addiction, but I simply don't have the strength. what am I supposed to do? it's really starting to feel hopeless.

God already knows your sincerity, relax and let it happen at the right pace for you :)
This is so important to realize. It may not happen this week, this month, or even this year, but it will happen when God decides it will be so. But knowing you want to change and praying for it shows God you’ll be ready when the time is right.
Amen! Accountability is important as well, find a group like Celebrate Recovery, or be accountable to one or two people you can trust on this.
Great advice. Admitting there is a problem is the first step and seeking help is the second. That second step looks different for each person as they work to gain control over the addiction. But help from others and the accountability they provide is critical to success.
