accountability

The idea of accountability is probably not one that most people are comfortable inviting into their lives. But I am benefiting from the accountability at Celebrate Recovery and am very thankful. I think one of the lies people believe is that accountability won't make any difference. But I really like it at CR, where every week we all, including the leaders, introduce ourselves and tell what we struggle with. And then people who know what you struggle with start asking how you're doing, and you know they want more of an answer than "fine". And you figure that since you came here to get help, you may as well start talking about it. And then later in the week you get tempted and you realize that if you give in to the temptation, there are several people who are going to find out before the week is over. And those people care whether you live in freedom! They are praying for you, maybe even calling you to see how you're doing. I can't speak highly enough of the benefits of loving accountability.
