The door of repentance is open, and Allah's forgiveness is immense, no matter how many times a sin is repeated. Do not despair of repentance whenever you sin, and strive to achieve sincere repentance, for Allah accepts the repentance of His servants and forgives evil deeds. If you repent to Him, He will not deprive you of the light of knowledge, nor will you deserve punishment.
