An adjective meaning "an action performed many times"

Question

I am trying to say that the character feels a feeling of familiarity come over him from having repeatedly handled the object like playing/fidgeting with a ring (It's a positive association).
Sentence:

As his fingers softly traced the contours of its face, he cold not help the feelings of ______ familiarity overcome him.

I have tried different words like repetitive, recurring, iterative and its synonyms but they do not seem to fit. What would be a good fit here ?

I think

repeated

would do well in your sentence. It is very simple but does not have a negative connotation and coupled with familiar might have a slightly positive connotation.
Alternatively, you might consider practiced, steady or ingrained.
