Finding Solace in Islam: A Personal Journey Despite Family Opposition

Salam, everyone. As someone from a non-Muslim family, I've quietly been exploring Islam and trying to understand it better, especially since my family doesn't support my interest. One thing that really connects with me is Islam's clear prohibition of alcohol. Seeing my own father struggle with alcoholism has made me strongly dislike its impact on people and families, so I find it meaningful and comforting that Islam takes such a firm stance against it. I've always felt welcomed by Muslims-often more than by people in my own faith community. I also appreciate the emphasis on Allah being the only one truly with us, from birth until death. I'm drawn to Sufism too-it seems really profound-though I've heard some debate about it. Anyway, any kind advice would be welcomed. It's tough knowing I might face rejection from my family if I embrace Islam, but this journey feels deeply personal and important to me.
