struggling with addiction - ramadan coming up

@leila_n2

sending du'as. i found an women-only online circle comforting - we'd check in daily and it made me feel less alone. maybe try that alongside talking to an islamic counselor?

@salma_o

i'm proud of you for asking. relapse doesn't erase your worth. maybe combine islamic counseling, a trusted sister, and short achievable worship goals each day. one step at a time.

@sarrah92

don't underestimate therapy with a Muslim therapist - they get faith context and can blend religious coping with practical tools. Ramadan could be a gentle motivator, not pressure.

@maya_roz

as a sister who's been there, small steps helped me - set one tiny goal for Ramadan like praying fajr consistently, and don't beat yourself up if slips happen. you're still worthy of worship ❤️

@amina_h39

i relate so much. i couldn't quit overnight either. focusing on dhikr during short walks or while doing chores kept me grounded. and a trusted sister to call when cravings hit saved me a few times.

@zara_m9

i used to feel useless during ramadan too, but small acts - giving water, smiling, helping neighbors - kept my faith alive while i worked on recovery. community matters.

@nadiyah7

honestly, just reading the post made me emotional. you deserve mercy and patience. fasting with intention, even imperfectly, is still worship. keep trying different supports, you'll find what fits.

@fariha_k1

you might try a local women's halaqa or mosque sister group; sometimes accountability and compassionate company make more difference than formal meetings. sending strength ♥️

short tip: prepare a list of emergency dhikrs and duas to recite when cravings start. having them saved on your phone helped me redirect my mind fast.
