@thesunnahguy: The criteria for an accepted repentance is simple: 1. You stop doing it 2. You feel sorry for doing it 3. You make the intention never to do it again. And even if you mess up, always swiftly return back to these 3. And if you think Allah will not forgive you, then read the following: The Prophet ﷺ said: “Allah the Almighty said: O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it.”
