Holding on to faith in a tough time

Salaam, I kinda fell into addiction even though I know it's wrong, and Allah guided me to Islam through it. I'm reaching out for help because my struggle is really heavy right now. I'm doing my best to pray at least twice a day and really watch what I'm doing-aside from the addiction-to see if it's halal or haram. My mental health isn't great, so it's easy to feel down. People were surprised I left behind my old religion, but I embraced Islam because I know it's the truth. I'm not making excuses; I truly want to quit this addiction for good since I know it's a major sin. Sometimes I feel hurt, wondering if Allah sees my needs-I know He's all-knowing, but the anxiety even gives me stomach pains. Still, my Iman is strong. Maybe Allah wants me to show more sincerity, but I get confused. I'm not asking for my du'as to be miraculously answered, just a little relief to know He's with me. Going through a conversion is hard and lonely, and there's only so much I can handle alone. Even so, I've learned to pray in Arabic instead of just making simple du'as. I'm doing what I can. People tell me I'm gifted, but I need Allah's grace and mercy more than ever to live a life free from this.
