No doubt it is tough though being a revert... Many things that non muslims are accustomed to, particularly in american culture, like alcohol, pork, lust for women, seeing things on TV everyday, it is as far from what the religion teaches as you can get really, and it is constantly used to tempt, constantly thrown in your face, constantly readily available and accessible... May Allah (SAW) forgive me

All you can do is your best, Insha'Allah I will continually get better.
