What is the way to overcome a sin that one repeatedly falls into after repentance, given the frustration with struggling against oneself and forgetting vows when desire arises, and how can one absolve oneself from harming innocent girls, and what is the desire for one to be among the people of righteousness and reform?

Indeed, Allah loves those who repent and rejoices at the repentance of His servant. He forgives sins, no matter how great they are, and replaces bad deeds with good ones. Therefore, seek help from Allah and supplicate to Him to keep you away from disobedience and to strengthen you in His religion. Maintain your obligatory duties, especially prayer, and remember that sins harm the heart and bring misery in this world and the hereafter, just as they are a cause for all evil. Keep good company that helps you in obedience, and avoid bad companions. Increase your recitation and contemplation of the Qur'an, the remembrance of Allah, striving in acts of worship, listening to admonitions, reflecting on death, and be mindful of Allah's constant observation of you. As for the saying "as you judge, you will be judged," its chain of narration is weak.
