I need an accountability partner. I am a male in Israel. Maybe we can talk once or twice a day for a short time or more if needed.

Hey,
I would like to be an accountability partner with you. Just so you know i am in North America and would prefer email/chat/whatsapp to calling...
Would you like to be accountability partners? Please PM, or email me if yes(360gye@gmail.com)

Thanks for the offer but I'm looking for someone where the time zone difference will not be an issue, and would also prefer a less virtual connection in terms of accountability so it is stronger. Chatting about my problem is not effective for me.

No takers. How pathetic. No wonder such a small percentage of people here and in SA actually recover. You're willing to risk everything to talk to a woman you shouldn't be talking to, but to talk to a fellow who wants to recover is more than you're willing to do to get better. I appreciate what this place is trying to accomplish, but it's a waste of time for me in my own journey.

Now now, we're not as pathetic as you think.

I don't risk everything to talk to women, you know.

I am in Israel. But I dont have time for face to face.
I think you put off most people with the chatting is not effective for me comment.
What exactly do you want to do then? My pretty face gets boring after a few minutes (sorry if you are SSA)

Why are you upset at a bunch of anonymous junkies on a random forum? 

Please up the chizuk and down the snide comments.

You're right, I thought my well-intentioned effort to beef up my recovery would find at least one seriously interested person on this web site, which is supposedly dedicated to serious recovery. My mistake. I should be giving chizuk instead.  Great job! Thank you!

I won't waste any more of your time or mine in this thread.

From my years of experience on this site I can tell you that people chat in person with others after they develop a relationship. It happens all the time.

How do you know that an accountability partner is somethin' you need now?

You might wanna say a thing or two as to why you're here and your history.

Either way, B'hatzlachah

You sound very frustrated. That must be the case because you wouldn't come striking out at people you don't really know otherwise.

How old are you?

I don't believe a small percentage of people recover, I believe many eventually do. It may be years and years of pain, but many do.

Every time I tried "creating" a chavrusa with a stranger for this purpose, it never ever worked out. 

However, after actually getting to know people, which takes time, commitment, and sincerity, I have found here a wonderful group of friends where our relationships were mutually productive for a while.
