Ah, JJ, I understand what you're going through. I've had troubles with addiction for as long as I can remember.

It sort of is similar to what Diana is pointing out. I.e, finding the love in those moments where you feel so overwhelmingly compelled to indulge. Shifting the focus away from "I shouldn't be doing this" to something more empowering. Then... naturally, things start happening.
Of course, everyone is different and some will need a "full stop" depending on their circumstances.
What you're doing is natural. You're looking for comfort in something outside of your self because most likely, a part of you is hurting. What a totally natural response to something that feels uncomfortable! Ain't no shame in that.
Best wishes to you JJ on your journey
