Advice for the one who returns to sin after repentance

Question:
This questioner says: I am afflicted with a sin in secret, and by Allah, I am affected by it, I seek Allah's forgiveness, I attend the scholarly lessons and the circles of dhikr (remembrance of Allah), I am affected, and I repent, but I quickly return to the sin. So what is your advice to me, O Shaykh, since I am weary in this state?

Answer:
This is a sign of good in being affected and in hating what happens to you, and this is a cause for repentance. And your returning to the sin has causes: either your resolve is not strong, and it is known that one of the conditions of repentance is the resolve not to return to the sin, so strengthen your resolve and seek help from Allah in leaving this sin and not returning to it as long as you live.
Second, you may have bad companions with whom you sit, and they lead you to falling into disobedience, so stay away from them, stay away from them. Third, remember the Hereafter, the Reckoning, and the punishment, so repent to Allah from your sins and account yourself. Yes.
