A person is addicted to alcohol but realizes it is haraam and makes an intention to stop. He drinks less and less everyday and tries to stop until he does. but will he get gunah for the alcohol he drank after he made an intention to stop, because he could not stop completely right away.
The method is to decrease incrementally. We hope from Allah s.w. that since you are trying to leave it that your attempt would be considerable. A person should strengthen one’s intention and be consistent and make dua at the same time.
