I'm Struggling to Feel Remorse for My Mistakes

Assalamu alaikum. It's hard to open up about this, but I really need some advice. I've been struggling with a certain bad habit for a long time, since I was really young. Even though I wasn't raised with the deen at first, Alhamdulillah, I found Islam later. I know these actions pull me away from Allah's path. Even during this blessed month of Ramadan, it hasn't been easy. After falling into this sin, I often feel too drained and lazy to pray Fajr and Dhuhr on time because I need to make ghusl first. I end up wasting time in bed until I finally get myself together. The scary part is I don't feel the guilt I should feel anymore. Sometimes, right before I do it, I remember that Allah is watching, but I go ahead anyway. Last year, I managed to stop for nine months straight, SubhanAllah, but then I broke the streak and I don't even know why. For some perspective, I quit vaping two years ago, Alhamdulillah. Now, I'm about to turn 19, and sometimes I think about marriage just to have a halal outlet and finally stop this for good, not even really for love, which feels selfish. I feel like constantly doing this sin and missing prayers is making my heart harder, and that's why the guilt is fading. Wallahi, I've tried everything to stop. I just don't know what else to do.

Hardened heart is real. Force yourself to pray, even if it's late. The connection is the cure.

I know that feeling, man. The gap between knowing it's wrong and feeling it in your heart is terrifying. Keep making dua.

Been there. Sometimes you just gotta physically get out of bed and make ghusl immediately, no thinking. It breaks the cycle.

The shaytan is making it seem normal. Fight that thought. May Allah protect you.

May Allah make it easy for you. Don't lose hope; the fact that you're worried about your lack of guilt shows your iman is still there.

You're 19, your struggle is seen and rewarded. Keep trying, don't give up on Allah's mercy.
