• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I'm just asking for some accountability for staying pure from masturbation and porn. I've been a week clean. I'm struggling with the mindset that I'm dirty and unclean so I haven't been in relation with God lately. Maybe if we can keep accountable and give suggestions to get closer with Jesus

My advise is to tell your pastor about this and your struggles. If not I highly recommend you to go to a small cell group (bible studies group) and tell the leader of the group about it. Your pastor or your cell group leader or someone in the cell group can be your accountability partner.

You are looking at porn because you're not getting what you need in relationships.

Go to a trusted sister in Christ (along with a pastor and/or small group leader) and ask them to help keep you accountable and to keep you in their prayers. A way to help facilitate this is to download the Covenant Eyes software to your computer/smart device, and add those peoples emails. Once a week they will receive a report showing the things you've looked at. This is a really useful tool that God can use to help you get past this struggle (I'm speaking from experience). I'll be praying for you.
