Hello,
I am looking for someone who might be willing to help me out by being an accountability partner. I am taking the Setting Captives Free course and this is one of the steps.
This would be someone who I could check in with daily, or as close to it as possible, at least for the first month, and let them know how I'm doing, my struggles, etc.
I realize this is a big commitment, but if anyone might be able to help someone just starting on the path to recovery, I would be truly grateful.
Thank you and God Bless,
Mike

Is there anyone you could actually meet with face-to-face who could do this? This addiction is very much about hiding from others, and learning to connect deeply with others in person instead of hiding behind our computers seems to me to be pretty desirable if we can do it.
Just a thought.

| Have you found someone yet to be accountable to? I am a female, so I don't know if its appropriate. But just to type in as a sounding board and everyone else sees it, I assume it is alright. I am wanting to begin Setting Captives Free. I check out the web site every day just haven't made the commitment.

Just wondering, if accountability can work both ways here. I photo-copied my introduction to this web-site and showed it to my husband. We started out with having a beer to relax me and we ended up getting pretty high. So I woke up feeling so guilty, about drinking.
Anyway my husband said something that really helped. We are not as God intended us to be. We are sinners and so all my distorted sexual views is what a sinner will think. But by the grace of God, He wants to change me and direct me toward Him. For me it gave me a sense of "oh yeah" . I easily say I am a sinner, but last night, before the beer hit, I found this okness about who I am. It's hard to explain, but I feel a sense of peace with my being a sinner, because I , in the flesh, am always trying not to be. I want to be perfect and I want everyone to like me, even God.
It's preaching the gospel to myself. God loves me and accepts me just the way I am. That is head knowledge right now. I desire one day for it to be heart knowledge.
To qualify the above it does not mean to act out in my sins, but knowing what I am and going to the Great Physician for help. God Bless
