Does addiction ever completely go away?

I once heard that people who quit an addiction (alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, meth, etc) might go their whole lives without a relapse, but still reported along the way that the urge to relapse never really went away.

Unless a persons brain develops a severe hatred for whatever they were addicted to, does it ever really go away. Do we just continuously get better at dealing with the urges?

Trying to quit vaping and it’s been tough. The nicotine part is like 20% of it. The oral fixation with the vape is what gets me bad. I’ve tried gum, pouches, lollipops, and even cold turkey. Never made it more than 5 months before I relapsed. It’s funny because usually after the first week, my urges go away, but somehow, I get sucked back into it every time.
