Accidentally bought alcohol for someone-how do I seek forgiveness?

I was at the store and someone asked if I could cover what they were short on. I agreed, but then realized it was alcohol. I felt too shy to stop it and now I feel awful and full of regret. I plan to give sadaqah to the masjid and make lots of istighfar. What else can I do to repent properly?

You already planning sadaqah and istighfar, that's enough. Don't overcomplicate it. Allah's mercy is vast, but next time say "sorry akhi, can't do that" and walk away.

Bro, it was an honest mistake. Your regret shows your imaan is strong. Sadaqah and istighfar are good, maybe also fast a few days to purify your nafs. Allah is Ghafur.

Honestly, the shame you feel might be the expiation itself. Just don't let it consume you. Shaytan wants you to despair. Do good deeds, they erase bad ones.

Mistakes happen, man. The sahaba weren't perfect overnight. Your regret is a gift from Allah. Keep repenting and maybe avoid that store for a bit if it tests you.

Lol same thing happened to me. Felt dirty for a week. Give charity, say Astaghfirullah 100x, and make dua. Allah knows your heart was pure.

Ya akhi, don't beat yourself up. The Prophet (saw) said actions are by intentions. You didn't mean to buy khamr. Repent and move on, but next time just politely refuse.
