What a conversation lol forgot this also existed
How is everything at your end, IM? Doing better inshallah?

Well ukhti things were a bit shaky for a few days but I seem to have found my center again and now I feel pretty stable and solid Alhamdulillah. This is an insidious addiction, can never feel too safe from it.

I see that you relapsed, Allah Yahfudhki. That's tough :( You had such a good run and for that I must commend you, you held it off for as long as you could and it sounds like its been a rough stretch for so don't be too hard on yourself.

I know there's not much I can say to help. I'll just offer to you that don't wallow in guilt and remorse, it won't get you anywhere.

Rather, treat yourself to some simple joys, a nice warm cup of tea perhaps, dress in white or bright clothing if you can, go up on your roof to enjoy some fresh air...

And go inwards. Maybe there's something new you can learn from this relapse. In fact that's a great question to lightly and gently keep asking yourself: 'what can I learn from this?' ...

Then work on setting a nice strong intention to do even better this time inshallah!

Anyway like I said I know these words won't help much but its the least I can do. May Allah give you the himmah to pick yourself back up and to keep fighting the good fight.

Ya Hafidhu, Ya Hafidhu, Ya Hafidhu

Jazakallah khayr, IM. I always value and appreciate your words. Life just seems a bit meaningless at this point so I guess I am struggling to find more meaning. Me relapsing is just a symptom of a bigger problem that I don’t know the solution to, yet.

I am glad you’re feeling better, Alhamdulillah! Happy to see you doing well mashallah. May it continue. Ameen!

Alhamdulillah Ukhti, finding meaning is definitely one of the greatest challenges for a human being. Meaning is food for the soul, so I'm with you on that!

I guess the consolation is that our struggles are part of the greater meaning of our lives, and they serve the purpose of helping is on that search. So may you find yours!
