Melody (such a beautiful name) overcoming addiction alone is hard. I was an alcoholic for for roughly 20 years. I'd give it up but within time I'd return right back to it. It wasn't until I was at the lowest point in my life that I realized what I actually had become and that I was actually powerless over the addiction that I threw myself into the arms of Gods mercy. Once I surrendered it all to The Lord in repentance I left it there. And without any of my own doing, except my surrender, I was delivered. Delivered! Something I struggled with for years God instantly removed from my life! The Lord is good, what he did for me he can do for you! Have faith, believe, resist the devil (addiction) and he shall flee.... Keep praying and don't forget to repent and HE WILL deliver you sweetie...... I will keep you in prayer because I know God is able!...... Oh, one more thing, being in the company of other addicts is like placing chains around your ankles you will be pulled back into the environment and tempted. You must remove yourself for the presence of the addiction and find something meaningful to you to replace it. The more you engage in something that stimulates you with joy the less power the addiction will have over you! With all The love of Jesus Christ remain in him and he shall remain in you :)

Yahweh, we humbly ask that you be there for melody in her struggle. Meet her right where she is and break all the chains that has her bound. We trust in your word, and know that you said, by his stripes, we are healed. We believe it, and we receive it. In the precious name of Jesus Christ I ask all these things.
