His parents are strict Muslims however, he went to live a life of crime drug dealing, and drug abuse. I want to guide him into living a better life. However I think to properly do so I must live a better life myself. I started considering pulling away from my life style and living a more self respecting life style, and possible exploring islam. I feel thats what his family would want him to have in a woman.
Welcome to Islamic board sister
May Allah the creator of the heavens and the earth, the God of Abraham, jesus, moses and Muhammad sallaho alayhi wa sallam make things easy for you to find him.
You've taken the first step so congratulations. There is a hadith that states
Abu Dharr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Allah Almighty says: Whoever comes with a good deed will have the reward of ten like it and even more. Whoever comes with an evil deed will be recompensed for one evil deed like it or he will be forgiven. Whoever draws close to me by the length of a hand, I will draw close to him by the length of an arm. Whoever draws close to me the by length of an arm, I will draw close to him by the length of a fathom. Whoever comes to me walking, I will come to him running. And whoever meets me with enough sins to fill the earth, not associating any idols with me, I will meet him with as much forgiveness.”
