But don’t let these be the only questions you ask. Make sure that as you “do accountability” that you are “establishing a friendship.” If you don’t, chances are you won’t be “doing accountability” for long
[1] In your “best available relationships” (whatever those may be) share when you’re tempted, tired, discouraged, unmotivated. Do this by e-mail, text message, phone call or in person. Don’t rely on them for the changes you need to make, but allow their awareness to strengthen your resolve to make those changes.
[2] I caveat this point, because there are too many adults, especially married adults, who are bitter about the responsibilities of adulthood and a family. Daydreaming about the fun of adolescents or singleness robs us of the ability to enjoy the fun of adulthood and marriage. God is pro-maturity and we should be too.
If this post was beneficial for you, then consider reading other blogs from my “Favorite Posts on the Church and Counseling” or “Favorite Posts on Pornography” post which address other facets of these subjects.
A recommendation for anyone struggling with pornography is to install Internet accountability software on all of your electronic devices. An excellent provider of this software is Covenant Eyes. Their ministry provides a many articles, for which I am a frequent contributor, for you continued growth and encouragement
