Accountability partner

[PeterJames0510]

Hello,

If there is someone really struggling with online addiction, would there be anyone else on this forum who would be willing to be an accountability partner? Thank you - Peter James

Happy to help you with love from God above in my heart. How can I help you what do you need? I'm new but willing to learn and I will pray for you too.

This seems strange to me. As you can go into your settings and restrict what you view on your computer yourself. I not really understand why you would want to pay money to do that. Seems strange to me. I can be a prayer partner if you wish. I can message you once a day to inquire as to how you are fairing with your goals of accountability and encourage you. As far as linking to another computer that sounds a bit complicated and scare to me I think I would have to ask the elders at my church about that before I commit to something very unknown. I wondered could you not ask your wife to do this accountability check with you and check at home that you are doing what you feel you must? We can walk in the light by faith and trust.

I believe its possible im im struggling with the same or a similar problem. But id personally prefer to just to just talk about it and have no problem admitting to someone if i relapse. Part of the reason being im broke but im also not a big fan of someone seeing everything i do, nor would i want to see everything someone else does even if we have nothing to hide. I believe im at the tail end of my problem but wouldnt mind checking in with someone once or twice a day, and i wouldnt mind being there for someone else once or twice a day as well under the terms i mentioned above

Hi Hope! I am terribly sorry, I would never ask you to be an accountability partner and I most definitely appreciate your prayers. I'm not sure males and females being accountability partners is wise and, as you said, may or may not be better for the spouse. Worry no more, though I thank you immensely for being willing to consider it.

Thank you so much for your prayers for me and I will pray for you. We all can use prayers from time to time.

However, there are times where we might fall into dark places and because there is no one around, we might happily go there knowing no one knows (or at least we think, for we know God watches all.) Having an accountability partner to whom receives a report once a week of all the places we go on the Internet would expose us to the light. So, I will continue to look, but thank you so much for all.
