Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh
In the Name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Mercy-Giving
All praise is due to Allah. Peace and blessings be upon His Messenger Muhammad
This compunction is a good sign, sister. Allah Almighty knows that we have points of weakness and, out of His grace, he has opened the gate of repentance wide for all those who repent sincerely and earnestly to Him, no matter how grave their sins are.
In the Quran we read, “Say, [O Prophet]: O My servants! Those [of you] who have committed [sins in great] excess against their own souls, never despond of the mercy of Allah! For, indeed, Allah forgives sins, one and all. Indeed, it is He [alone] who is the All-Forgiving, the Mercy-Giving.” (Az-Zumar 39:53)
After mentioning a number of grave sins and the punishment that awaits those who commit them, Allah (exalted is He) said, “except for whoever repents, and believes, and does righteous deeds. For [the likes of] them, then, God will substitute their misdeeds with good deeds. And ever is God all-forgiving, mercy-giving.” (Al-Furqan 25:70)
Sincere repentance means a) to regret what one has done, b) to quit it immediately, and c) to have strong resolve that this will never happen again.
My advice to you is to lead a life of thankfulness to Allah, who granted you repentance.
Almighty Allah knows best.
