Repeated broken oaths: need advice

As-salamu alaykum. I've been stuck in a tough cycle. After committing a sin, I repented and swore I'd never do it again. But I slipped back, and before I could offer kafarah-like fasting three days-I made a fresh oath with similar words, only to break it once more. This kept happening, and I think it's been at least 55 times. Each vow was sincere; I regretted the sin and never planned to return. Paying money isn't possible for me, and I worry I can't fast all those days. I know this is my own doing, but I'm scared of dying before I make amends, leaving all those broken promises unresolved. If anyone has knowledge, please help a brother out. JazakAllah khair.

Brother, don't lose hope in Allah's mercy. He knows your struggle. Maybe make one big kafarah instead of 55 separate ones-some scholars allow that. Keep repenting sincerely, Allah is al-Ghafur.

Bro, even if you die before completing kafarah, Allah looks at your heart. Keep repenting, make dua, and do voluntary fasts when you can. Some scholars say you can feed one person for each oath if fasting is hard.

This is tough. I'd say prioritize tawbah and do what you can for kafarah. Maybe start with recent oaths. And remember, despair is from shaytan-keep your trust in Allah's infinite mercy. JazakAllah khair.

55 times? Bro, that's heavy. But remember, Allah's mercy outweighs His wrath. Consult a trustworthy sheikh, maybe you can group the expiations. Never stop asking for forgiveness.
