I said I would post everyday, and I haven't been doing it. Too many excuses, yes I've been sick, new job and a month long holiday. But if you really want to achieve something, in my case "tell the truth and don't lie", then it must be the no 1 priority everyday. It's very easy to do the easy things, the things you like, etc but that's simply avoidance and not putting in the real work to get real results, and now that I am facing the truth by starting my recovery work, I feel like posting has become a joy and creates a forum and an opportunity to be heard.

Yes, very true. Life really does get in the way and if we don't really truly put it at first priority, we forget or we don't have time or we don't find time or something like that. Appreciate your post, seeing the others have the same issues I have. We really truly have to just float it to the very top and keep it there

Its very true excuses will be the hardest part to remove. Its not easy to admit when one is at fault.

Right you are friend! Daily practice. I actually remember you posting that you were going to check in every day and noted you went missing. It is hard to change muscle memory without daily practice. Those old pathways are deeply engrained! The science of neuroplasticity has shown you can create new neuroresponses but it takes habitual and consistent repetition for this to occur. Simply put: daily work. Welcome back. And loved your bit about can you die from lying. Yep, a piece of the soul is killed when we lie. Reminds me of Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter when he split his soul into pieces (Horcruxes). I feel like that is what I do to myself when I don't stick to honesty and authenticity .

I'm glad I'm back on this page. I felt like if I didn't check in, the problem will fix itself. It didn't. Had a fight with my wife today that could have been easily avoided. So I'm logging here because this is a big deal to me. I didn't think it was a big deal before, but neglecting logging this site was a mistake. No more mistakes. If I can do it with other things and check in, I can do it with lying.

It is hard to make changes in our life that conflict with our already established daily routines. I'm glad that you have stuck with it to the point that you now look forward to it. Kudos to you for making logging in everyday a habit!

I have decided to use all the Groups in dailystrength that apply to my life. I believe that we just don't have one addiction - i.e. lying, but we have many addicitons. For example, an alcoholic is a liar by definition, until they decide to get sober and stop drinking. So I have decided to join 2 other groups in dailystrength 1. co-dependency and 2. financial and as I get to know myself more I might get more revelations, I might find that I join more. I will between these Groups post ever day, as there is alot to write about! thanks to everyone for their posts and support. I love being part of this Group. I am onedayhonest.
