Your zeal to change is commendable. For that, you require courage and edication. Nothing can be achieved without that.

To associate with the opposite gender illegally is Haraam and detrimental to one's spirituality. In many instances, it leads to addiction. Many married men don't seem to be content with their wives. That is due to the bad habit they adopted. One must suppress his desires against every evil. We advise you terminate your relationship with the girl and have nothing to do with her. Make sincere Tawbah for associating with her and make a firm intention never to associate with any girl. Be punctual with your five times Salaat with Jamaat. If there are pious people in your area, associate with them.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
