Seeking Advice on Improving My Faith Journey

Assalamu alaikum everyone, I wanted to reach out because I’m a brother who was born and raised in a European country with a Christian majority, but Alhamdulillah, I come from a Muslim family. Lately I’ve been trying to learn more about our beautiful deen and I’ve started praying regularly, though I admit I’m still working on being consistent. My biggest struggle right now is that I find it really difficult to give up alcohol completely. Growing up in a culture where drinking is so common in social settings has made it a tough habit to break. I really want to strengthen my relationship with Allah SWT and live more according to Islamic teachings. Has anyone been through something similar or have any advice to share? JazakAllah khair for any support.

Similar situation here in the UK. Focus on why you're doing it, for Allah. The social pressure fades over time, and you'll find better company. Keep praying.

It's tough to quit, I get it. Try replacing it with something else when you go out, like a mocktail. Every small step counts, may Allah make it easy for you.
