Respectful Help for Those Addicted to Porn
The Covenant Eyes ProgramContinued from above... Many find that overcoming sin and temptation is virtually impossible on their own. Developing a relationship with another person is the best way of obtaining help. When you sign up for The Covenant Eyes Program, you are asked to provide the names of two "Accountability Partners" (only one is required, but we recommend two).
An "Accountability Partner" is simply a person with whom you have an accountable relationship. Ask a friend, spouse, pastor, or counselor to be your Partner. Then, on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis, they will receive an accountability log which will be a record of all of the sites you visited, including the web addresses and amount of time you were on the Internet. This log is e-mailed to your Accountability Partner.
The Covenant Eyes Program is maintained on computers at the corporate headquarters in Corunna, MI. Therefore, the history of sites visited by the member can not be erased (though they can be viewed confidentially over the Internet by the user).

Dr. Victor Kline states "In my clinical practice, I have treated both children and adults who have been unequivocally and repeatedly injured by exposure to pornography... individuals should be made aware of the health hazards involved. This kind of knowledge is most important for parents, since most sexual and pornographic addictions begin in middle childhood or adolescence, most of the time without the parents' awareness or the children have an insufficient understanding of the risks involved." read more of this article | Understanding Addictive Cybersex
