Bojack was his own worst enemy. The show was a pretty unflnchingly accurate depiction of the cycles of addiction. Bojack would clean up, fly straight and narrow for awhile and things would start going well, but then he'd fall back into the clutches of his vices either because he wanted to celebrate, or because something bad would happen and he didn't have healthy coping mechanisms. And each time, things would get worse for him.
Towards the end, he did manage to clean up, but he never quite atoned for his previous behavior which, once again, caught up to him.
The show ended with a sense of uncertainty which seemed to annoy a lot of anons, but I think was the right call. Most movies or shows end with a tragic end or a happily ever after, but Bojack doesn't get that sense of closure. As is a realistic prospect for addicts, Bojack is left having to work every day to stay clean. The audience is as unsure as Bojack himself is whether he'll be able to do it or not. Everyone close to him cut ties, and he was left to struggle with his addiction on his own.
As much as that doesn't fit nicely into a narrative box that we want, I think it was the right way to end the series. There is no "end" to addiction like films want you to think. It's an ongoing lifelong process.
