JP Awesome work!!!
Life is not always easy. There are trials and tribulations that we are destined to encounter. How we face the difficult times is defined by our attitudes and character. I have learned to believe in my self and know that I will end up on both feet breathing no matter what. Stay positive and lie free. And hang 10 on the good waves!! Have a great week all! Continuing my 1% rule! Trying to be 1% better today than I was yesterday!!

Checking in.

Not feeling so good today, as in sick.

Be careful of when you're HALT: Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. I'm going to sick to that to make it HALTS, or maybe SHALT. During these times you're more susceptible to relapsing into bad behaviors.

Take care everyone.

I'm John, and I'm a liar.

sorry... "...I'm going to *add* sick to that to make it HALTS or SHALT..."

(Where's the edit function?)

John Maybe SHIT? ha ha The message is clear either way! Stay commited and keep faith. All be well. Michael checking in and staying grounded!

Hahahahahaha... what's the "I"? Irritated?

Sick, Hangry (to account for both hungry and angry), Irritated, Tired.

SHIT.

Beware of SHIT everyone. Stay true.

This is my check in my name is Brittany and I am a recovering liar. I feel good today just enjoying myself
Keep pushing.

My expectations do not always meet what I desire others to do. Sometimes this is because I do not verbalize what I want and there is no way for others to read my mind. Sometimes others have a different agenda that takes precedent in their life. I am working on better communication. I am working on avoiding my own pity party when my wants are not met. I am working on my three c's. Courage connection and compassion. I am working on believing people do the best they can at any given time; to accept that but understand it is ok to establish boundaries. Stay true to yourselves and stay positive.

Mikey... wow, were you in my house the other day? See, I had a misunderstanding with my wife because I said one thing in such a way that implied something else. She reacted/made a decision based on my implication, and not what I meant.

That created some tension because this is how the ensuing conversation goes:

She: Well YOU said dot dot dot.
Me: But what I meant was dot dot dot.
She: But that's not what you said.
Me: <no further argument because I really have no legs to stand on yet at this point>

So, yeah, I could definitely be better at communicating, and furthermore not assuming that after a conversation that there is actual understanding.

Always good insight, Mike.

I'm John, and I'm a liar. The twists in my communication in the past count as lying. (In the case of the other night, it was not. That was a misunderstanding, completely. But beware of how easy it is for past behaviors to influence what you do today.)

90 days ago I came to this site. I knew I had to "fix" myself. There was work done well before joining this group. That probably is why I understood I really had the problem of compulsive lying. The number 90 is insignificant really. But on that day I declared that as a commitment to getting me right I would check in daily for 90 days to keep me grounded and focused. Thanks to all who have contributed. That have also chosen to be vulnerable so growth could occur. Obviously this is much more than not telling lies! We all know that it is about finding inner peace, authenticity and self acceptance. I have worked to let go of what no longer serves me. I have worked to change the way I think about my life and my interactions with those whom I am in contact, both casual and intimate. I am a happier person. I know that I cannot abide by past behaviors now. I loved the post about "what I don't miss". I to am looking forward to a day where the shame and humiliation of my lies has faded and that icky feeling no longer burns like rising bile in my throat. This is a better way, a truthful and heartfelt way to live! Keep pounding all.

Days 60-65...greetings everyone...continue to stay encouraged on your path...still envisioning the day where past really becomes the past and the future takes precedence while learning from them. Still waking up daily to speak and live truth. While my lady and l are still together she recently asked that we reduce our times together to the weekend...not because there is anything wrong but because the week is so busy and she needs the time to think and have some quiet time...2 mos ago l would have been really upset...but growth and truth go hand in hand...and our schedules ARE really busy during the week...and with the new job and 10 to 12 hours days trust me l get it. Having those quiet times alone are very important. ..but it doesn't mean back peddling to that which bought us all here! Happy Friday and keep pounding!

TGIF ALL. And RIP Prince.

Five weeks yesterday since I joined this group. Everything in my life has taken a turn for the better.

Good Monday. Continuing to work on being the best person I can be. Hope all are well in their travels.

Wow, I can't believe it's been over two weeks since I have checked in. I have been lie free for 38 days. I wouldn't say all is well and good in my life and in my marriage...but things aren't bad either. Just plugging along, moving forward and staying true to myself.

Good Evening. It has been a few days since I have checked in I'm so excited for my birthday Saturday and being baptized Sunday. The Lord has helped me stay focused and I wear this band I got from church 24/7 to remind me of who I'm trying to be and where I started.
Continuing to love myself 1st. Have a great rest of the week you guys.
