He also drives recklessly when I'm with him. I don't even know if he has a license. Those are the 2 big reasons why I want to end contact.

How about a third reason...you are worth more than this.

I also know if I stop enabling him, he won't talk to me anymore.

So...

I don't know if its best to tell him in person or just ignore his calls/texts. I know if I tell him in person, he'll think I'm joking or whatever

Seems to be a connection between the last 2 statements. The affection is the payoff ? He's an addict doing what addicts do. He is not capaple of anything beyond drug seeking. If you want affection, buy a dog or cat. They are not going t steal from you or put you in harms way.
