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.

Everyone has given great suggestions. I recommend Celebrate Recovery as well, someone already suggested this. In addition to that, please commit to learning James 4:7-8a - Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God, and He will come near to you.
Make it a song, write it on cards you post all over the house, write it on your hand if you have to. When the temptation hits, say this out loud. God always gives us a way to resist temptation, and you clearly want to resist. Speak His Word aloud and that resistance becomes stronger. Your resolve will strengthen. God says “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” It’s ok to be weak, because He is strong enough to overcome.
I’ll be praying for you. 💕🙏
