Thanks, BorntoRun and J467. I am feeling much better but at times want to go back to lying. It is tough.

Just hang in there. Always STOP, Think, and then speak.

How is everyone? Hope all of you are well and staying strong!
Have a great day!

Hi J467. I'm good. Just got back from a wonderful birthday getaway with my friend. I thought it would have been awkward at first, considering she's the one that I've lied to the most, but this weekend we reconnected. She is still very hurt over the fact that I have lied continuously and sometimes I don't even feel like I'm lying. I guess that goes to show how much I've lied :(. However, we got a chance to spend some quality time with her, which is what we both needed. It doesn't mean I'm off the hook or we won't have bad days, but I do believe it's a start.

Hi Hidden -

I know what you mean about not even knowing we are lying. Very bad. But ...... well, we can only do the best we can, I guess.

Happy belated birthday.

with summer in full swing and the 4th of July just around the corner don't let your guardd down - stay the course - no lies. Happy lie-free Monday!

Thank you, Borntorum

this is going to be a really hard day for me - technically on vacation, but waaaaay too much work to do to blow off - God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change and keep me from self-sabotaging via lies and BS -

Happy Tuesday everyone may it be lie-free for all!

hang in there borntorun!

My name is David and today I am lie free. This is my 3rd day of dealing with my lying, but the first day I can say that I have not lied.
Hope everyone has a happy July 4th

good for you David! may everyone on this site have a lie-free 4th!

It is getting easier to say truths - my problem now is to feel overly empowered and mean about it. LOL

Hi Sueinflorida. Thank you, but it was my friend's (the one I hurt) birthday :). It's still been hard and sometimes im so tempted to lie to make the situation dissuade instead of dealing with it, but I've told her the truth so far, even though she might not like what I have had to say. Still hard to no please people or to lie about certain things, not with her, but with family.

For some reason, I keep thinking I can do this on my own. Over and over, I continue to struggle with the same issue - lying about stupid little things. I realize now that I really can't do this on my own. I believe I will be showing up around here more often, even if just for the support. Here's to a lie-free Wednesday....

Hi James I know exactly what you mean. It feels like that, but again I also have lied about stupid little things. So I understand.

Hello,
My name is Ellen. I have only come to terms with the fact that I am a compulsive liar and that it is an addiction. I am so grateful to have found support because I am really scared. I want and need to stop lying. I have not lied yesterday or today, but like any addiction, it's kind of easy in the first day or two. It's when it starts to get hard that I need the help. I have hurt my partner so very deeply that I don't know if I can ever make amends. We have been together for almost 9 years and I have lied to her every single day of that time. Some little, some big - but the result is still the same - I lie. I am in a pretty low place right now because I am on the verge of losing everything. I was going to ask for your help, but I know I have to do the work myself. I am just grateful that you are here. Thanks.
