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.

Praise and worship. There's a reason why every church service starts with that, because it gets our hearts and minds oriented correctly.
Listen to praise music as much as you can, and at least 15-30min/day. And praise God for all the good things you have in your life, that He has done for you, and in faith for things he is doing and will do in the future.
Praise and Worship breaks chains, changes the atmosphere where you live, and is required for a healthy, vivid Christian life.
Lastly, get rid of this "I'm making a mockery" nonsense. We all do. Jesus knew this when he died for us. It's not relevant. Dump it. Life is a battle, and we're in a spiritual war. It's not always easy, but it is worth it.
One more thing, learn about Praying in Tongues. It's extremely powerful. Here's an article from a patriot, Praying Medic:
