I've been helping a male friend try to overcome his porn addiction (I'm female) and things have been going well for the last few weeks. However, a few days ago I realised that I myself am not immune to temptation in that area, and while I was preventing him from being able to look up stuff (with Covenant eyes software etc), a couple of nights ago I found myself looking up the very stuff that I'm preventing him from looking at (the first time I've ever actually SEARCHED for porn in my life!). I could have called it "research" or something, but that would be a lie. I did it because I wanted to. I felt so guilty about it because I had let him down, I'd let God down, I'd let myself down. I told my friend about it because I couldn't continue to help him while being a hypocrite and things are fine and we're still going on with the accountability thing, but I really really need prayer for this! For myself as well as for him. Because of the nature of it I can't go to the people I would normally go to for prayer.

Please please pray for us both!

Thanks
