When will this madness stop? I've been an addict for 25 years and I've gotten clean a few times but I always end up going back. I'm so tired of going back. I hate my ex.

The fight is over when you're done fighting and willing to get serious about getting clean.
Why are you letting your ex have free rent in your head?
You've tried getting clean a few times before. Were you expecting a different result each time?
You can do this. You just have to be willing and put forth the effort.

Jenn, I feel you! I was an active addict for 28 years. The answer is yes it does end. But I had to FULLY commit to my sober program. I had to make my sobriety my number one priority over finance, romance and even family.
I went to in person AA/CA/NA meetings every morning and night 7 days a week, got sponsors, did the 12 steps multiple times and did lots of service work.
I reprogrammed my mind and my life.
15+ years of happy sobriety and no regrets.
I’m here if you want to talk.

I hate my ex as well... lol
And I've battled my addiction for the majority of my life.
And before i quit this last time, it was always going back that helped to keep me in it.
But I'm out and at 7 years have the longest clean time I've ever had in my entire life.
I'm at a place in my recovery where I feel comfortable in my own skin.
And in the absence of disappointing myself, I've really been learning to love myself

Agree!
Almost 25 years I battled the addictive mindset from substance to relationships and I agree with what someone wrote, it ends when you make your mind up. You have to matter more. You’re worth being happy, you’re worth freedom. You’re worth smiling again, you’re worth loving yourself. Nothing should ever come between that. Keep going, let yesterday be your backbone to get you through today.
