I’ve always heard that a problem shared is half
solved. Well, the statement may not be entirely true but I know that in this
context it does apply. What I’m saying in essence is that you should have a
group of people you can talk to and you can report your progress to. These
people are referred to as accountability partners. You are accountable to them.
Your accountability partners should be friends you
can trust, parents who can understand you, your pastor to give you sound
spiritual guidance and maybe even fellow addicts who have been able to overcome
their own problem too. You may not necessarily hold meetings with these people
but you should talk to them regularly. The truth is, the journey out of porn
addiction is not easy and there will be time when you will feel dirty again God
will seem far away and you will feel unworthy to talk to Him so these are
people you can always turn back to. They will advise you and help you through the
rough patch.
Your accountability partners will also help you
monitor your progress and see how far you’ve come. Remember to be very honest
with them, and despite the temptation to try to look good before them, remember
that that will not help you either. So you must come clean before them. That is
the only way they can help you.
