ANSWER:

It is a shame how people can lose so much reward and end up worse than sinners by simply wishing they had done what the sinners were engaged in! Such regrets you are having guarantees you the same sins they committed as per the hadeeth of the prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam as it proves that you did not leave such sins for the sake of Allah but rather due to other reasons! 

QUESTION: I have friends who spent their youth having all sorts of fun and at the same age i tried my best to restrain from those sins. But now they repented so whats the use of me abstaining from those sins if i could just have fun and repent like them
