My drinking I've struggled with my entire life, and still do to this day, but I've got a bit more control on it now that I have something to loose (school, family etc). It was hard to hide the drinking while a Muslim because if anyone found out it would be a horrible experience I'm sure. Muslims are very harsh to other Muslims. :\

Chasing the dragon huh? Sometimes I draw an analogy between the feeling addicts (like me) had and religion. The issue is not as much as the physical withdrawal, but more of the psychological one. Like "I can't imagine life without god" so do addicts "Can't imagine life without heroin". I had both of these thoughts removed and I'm doing pretty well for now.
