This is a common situation among drug users and addicts, and one that makes a lot of sense. In addition to the fact that many users enjoy the effects of substances in and of itself, drug use also frequently serves as a coping mechanism, albeit an ineffective one. Giving up negative coping mechanisms can be scary and make a person feel vulnerable.
It is also important, however, to consider how substance use may be impacting one's life. If it is getting in the way of one's ability to function and work towards their goals, that person may want to consider the potential benefits of quitting, even though it may be hard.

You know many people have addictions such as self harming, gambling, alcohol and drug addictions etc, You can't judge a person if they can't stop, most of the time people do find it extremely difficult to stop and that's understandable especially when you've been doing it for so long and have been dependent on whatever it is that you're doing. But this doesn't change the fact that you are still hurting yourself, and in a way potentially ruining your life because addictions can be dangerous and can lead to further damage. I'm not going to say it's wrong because It's probably really hard for you, but you should definitely attempt to get yourself help to try and stop because it can really change your life for the best and you'll feel better.
