Enough of X to last a lifetime is an idiomatic expression, indicating that one is thoroughly tired of something and never want to see it again.

The literal meaning is that one has done/seen so much of X, one does not need to do/see X ever again in their life. It's generally not considered literally, though, and just means "I've had enough for now".

The phrase can be structured in a number of ways, too - Enough X to last a lifetime, Enough for a lifetime, Enough to last ME a lifetime, or, if one is being hyperbolic, Enough for several lifetimes. All indicate the same thing.
