Assalamualaikum, I hope you guys are doing well.

I'm a 24 years old guy and I've been thinking about re-posting this old post for a while now, when i accidentally came across this subreddit. So I actually haven't been an accountability partner before so this will be my first time ever doing this. Therefore, a few things to note would be that I don't care if it's male or female who reaches out to me as long as you are serious, respect my time and willing to get help about this issue. Then I'll be happy to help you out but please don't be a time waster who is not serious and will just disappear soon after.

Also, I am doing this purely for the sake of Allah swt so no matter how bad your addiction or past might be, I will NOT JUDGE YOU NO MATTER WHAT so be relaxed with me as l'm here to help you out.

Anyways, some important information is below The thing that I want from anyone who's willing to reach out to me is number have the ability to listen and follow what I say. Since at the end of the day, whatever I may try to do or help I offer you will all be for nothing if you aren't able to listen to me.

Therefore, number 1 thing I want is for you to listen to me and follow through with what I say as the saying goes. I can bring the horse to the water but I can't make it drink, I can tell you and offer you my help, my time, my support but it won't matter if you don't listen and follow through with it. That being said here's my plan on how to approach this accountability process.

Step 1:

Introductions and giving me overview of your daily schedule, your times of temptation, types of temptation, your goals and a bit of your strengths and weaknesses in this regards.

Step 2:

This is the step where we will put our goals into practice and try to achieve them. I know it's hard for people to get over this so l'd like to start this experiment slowly and one step at a time. For me it doesn't matter if we take 10 steps forward but take a step backwards (meaning succeeding for 10 days but then failing on the 11th) so I would encourage you to not be discouraged by your failures and keep going. I also be sending you Hadith reminders daily so we can keep on remembering what to do and what not to do.

Step 3:

Failures and punishments, in this particular part I also want to have some types of punishments for you in the event you fail your streak. Alhamdulillah, the punishments won't be anything inappropriate or controversial but instead they will be things that will help you out and will earn you good deeds since good deeds removes bad deeds and sins. So even in the punishments section, I also want you to earn good deeds and try to cultivate your heart and mind by the remembrance of Allah swt and good deeds and intentions.

Step 4:

This will be our final stage in the experiment where we will look back at everything we did and we can give each other constructive feedbacks on how to improve ourselves much more thoroughly and efficiently.
