Freedom Stories

  • No more isolation

    “In today's day and age, temptation is just a click away. Knowing I have someone to be accountable to adds a welcome boundary. The times I have fallen were times when I was isolated. Being connected to and knowing there are others with the same goals encourages me.”

    -Gustavo

  • Accountability has helped me

    “Having accountability through the Ever Accountable app has been such a tremendous help in my spiritual life, and in overcoming porn. I'm not married but it does definitely affect my relationship with God, in a very positive way.”

  • It was such a waste of time

    “Living porn free through accountability has improved my relationship with my wife for obvious reasons - I stay away from pornography and I waste less time on my phone.”

  • I never knew the grip porn would have

    “I was exposed to porn at a very young age. Back then and even later on it was considered as something that boys just do, a typical "guy thing, a phase that will pass.

    I never knew the absolute grip this thing would have on me and the devastating results that would come from it. The effect it had in my life was far-reaching and I only realized the true grasp this thing had on me after I was already married.

    God intervened and because of a specific event, all was exposed and my life fell apart. My wife was broken and the damage was done.”

  • I didn't realize the damper porn put on me

    “I tried for a long time to stay away from pornography. But I kept finding myself coming back to it despite my best efforts. Finally, I prayed and asked God to help me. That same week I became reacquainted with an old friend who encouraged me and to whom I could be open and accountable. I stopped looking at porn and you can’t imagine how happy I felt! I noticed for the first time in years how beautiful the sky and the mountains near my house are. My ambition to do hard things and go to college surged. I hadn’t realized what huge damper pornography had put on me but once it was gone I knew I had to do whatever it took to protect myself so I’d never go back”

  • My husband is finally free from porn

    “I can see and witness the physical change in him -- the light in his eyes and in his countenance -- and the change that has come over our whole family because of it. I finally have the guy I knew was in there somewhere. Now we can start living our lives the way God intended without having the weight of the Pornography Anchor attached to our home. Even though he did it in secret, it affected each of our lives so much.

  • I can look my friends and family in the eyes

    “Without pornography ravaging my nights, I get a lot more sleep. I am no longer oversleeping for work, no longer tired, and I can talk to women less like sexual objects and more like genuine people who I actually care about. My thoughts and motives are much more Christ-based since they aren't filled with fleshly desires. I am ultimately happier with life. I'm no longer paranoid about friends and family finding out about what I may have done the night before. I coach high school and middle school wrestling and when I encounter kids who may be starting out in the pit of false pleasure, I can help them and guide them away from it easier and better knowing I'm not indulging in it too. The struggle and temptation are there but the Ever Accountable app helps to avoid it and I'm very grateful for it.

    I can look close friends and family in the eyes. I don't call off gatherings and hanging out with friends for porn anymore. I feel like a better role model for the kids I coach and for my younger brother and sister. My friends who receive the weekly Ever Accountable reports know where I am in life and we have grown closer to each other because we help each other in these areas. Like my dad once told me "The coffin is lighter when more hands are on it". Friends help you deal with hardship and this is the best way for my friends to help me in my biggest struggle.”

  • My marriage is being restored

    “I can honestly say since installing the Ever Accountable accountability app on my devices in January 2017; I have only looked at porn once. I am not downplaying anything, but even that one viewing was a couple of pictures, not videos (which is huge because I moved away from the images to videos when I was about 17). I honestly feel I am walking in freedom. My relationship with my wife is being restored. When I lay back in bed at night, there is no one in my mind or between us. “

  • Porn almost cost me my marriage

    “I have tried for many years to overcome pornography and it almost cost me my marriage. My wife has agreed to be the recipient of my Ever Accountable accountability reports which has been highly motivating in keeping me from pornography or any inappropriate content on my phone. I have tried other adult content blocking apps but there are always ways around them. With this app, I have a choice of what I look at but know that I can't hide it. That is the motivation I needed.”
