Has Allah SWT answered my duas about my daughter?

Assalamu Alaikum. I have a 23-year-old daughter who used to be a bit of a wild child - misbehaving and smoking marijuana for the last 4–5 years. It was very painful for me, and I kept turning to Allah SWT, asking for guidance and a way to help her. I had the idea to buy her a car, thinking that if she was driving every day and had responsibilities, it might stop her from those habits. I also made sure she knew the consequences of things like driving under the influence. At first my husband didn’t agree and said she should earn a car herself. I talked it over with a close relative who thought a car could make a difference. I asked my daughter straight if she would stop, and she promised. I told her I would use tests to check, and after doing two tests at the start I felt she had really changed and didn’t need to keep testing so often. Now she even buys her own tests and checks monthly to show me she’s staying clean. I’m so happy and proud of her. I kept encouraging her to take driving lessons, and I never imagined that could be what turned things around. Alhamdulillah, I’m grateful to Allah SWT for guiding her toward sobriety. Praise be to Allah.
