• 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.

Lack of Accountability Partner

I have had 3 women in the past who were my "accountability partners" but all failed me. The first one got nasty with me just before I left; the 2nd one didn't like it that I was praising God for intervening a situation I was in and she thought she was getting the credit...and the 3rd recent one (unknowingly to me at the time) was dating a man who hasn't had his divorce finalized yet (they are now married after it was finalized) but in turn got disinterested in helping me to stay pure since she was dating him.

Now I have no accountability partner....I have a problem with sexual issues as a single Christian virgin....I am starting to backslide again.

I don't know what to do anymore....I felt that married people don't understand single people's struggles with this topic so I am looking for another single person who is a good accountability partner who won't do the things the other 3 did in the past to me....I lost my confidence in getting another one because of what the 3rd one did.

Any advice? Thanks for your help in this matter.

I am sorry for your troubles, I believe you just have to keep searching or maybe there is a group that you can join where you can talk about the issues you are dealing with. Either way I will be praying for your strength and for the Lord to find you a partner. God bless you!

Would fellowship in an recovery group such as Celebrate Recovery be just as valuable?

Until you find your accountability partner, here is something I would use to keep myself on the up and up. Just replace the idea of gym with purity/celibacy. Pact - Commit to you.
