Hi everyone. My name is Max and I am a liar. I've been honest for 5 days and will continue to work on my lying. The past few days have been pretty good, so I must remember to follow through and avoid becoming complacent. I want to wish everyone happy holidays and hope that everybody meets their goals in the new year. We can do this :)

Hi everyone. My name is Max and I am a liar. I've been honest for 6 days, and I'm staying on track so far. I faced some of my fears yesterday and worked on developing skills that I lack. It was a very difficult experience, but well worth it. I will continue to work on the person I want to be rather than the person I am right now. I want to say thank you to everyone in this community for their ongoing support. Just knowing that I am not alone, and that others can empathize with my struggle is incredibly helpful. Happy holidays, everyone, and good luck with your journey.

Hope all are well after celebrating their holiday! Stay true to who and what you are and be comfortable with that person! It's our uniqueness that makes us who we are! This year is almost behind us and I know there are great things ahead!!!

Hi everyone. My name is Max and I am a liar. I've been honest for 9 days, and am staying on track with my goals. I've definitely stumbled along the way in the past few days, but I've managed to recover every time. I'm trying to improve my driving at the moment (something I feel very insecure about). It's been very difficult confronting my fears. I am noticing improvement however, and will continue to push through. Good luck to everyone with their journey, and have a wonderful holiday.

Another day to enjoy life as the authentic me! Will continue to work on self growth and service to others.

Hi everyone. My name is Max and I am a liar. I've been honest for 10 days. It feels good to hit double digits. I will continue working towards my goal of two weeks, and to stay honest beyond that. Good luck to everyone with their journey. One day at a time.

I went to buy two Kayaks yesterday. Turns out I need 12 foot Kayaks for the ocean. So that meant I needed a ladder rack on my truck to carry them. So instead bought a ladder rack for the truck. It came with 3 billion parts! Pieces of frame, ton of bolts washers and nuts and instructions written in Chinese! I don't speak Chinese! It is now all put together and I'm going to go buy my two Kayaks! You can do anything that you put your mind to with determination!! All be kind to yourselves!!

Hey there, Russ. I'm new. I'm Ryliegirl, and I'm a compulsive liar and I need and want help SO MUCH. I loved about how in your post, you are in favor of a lot of daily contact here. I am TOO! This is my only hope and I want to change, but I know that i can't do it without friends helping, and I love to help friends, too. No one understands us, but us. So I'm trying to get a sense of whether there are a lot of replies here. It looks like there are? So, I'm another vote for daily contact! Happy day to you Russ.

Hi everyone. My name is Max and I am a liar. I've been honest for 11 days, but am struggling with being less selfish and more considerate of others. I've done an ok job of accepting my own faults and working to improve myself, but I have fallen short of prioritizing the needs of those around me. I want to focus more on my compassion and empathy going forward, and be a better person for my family and friends.

Welcome to the thread, Ryliegirl. It's always good to see more people participating in the conversation and sharing their experience. I hope you find this a useful tool for your recovery.

As always, good luck to everyone with their personal journey. Keep chipping away at this one day at a time, and you will see improvement. Happy holidays :)

Hi everyone. My name is Max and I am a liar. I've been honest for 12 days. I'm really close to meeting my goal, and am very excited. I will have to monitor my behavior very closely to make sure I don't slip up on the finish line, as I have a tendency to do that. I want to wish everyone happy holidays, and hope we all find strength in the new year.

Happy New Year all. Good to have people showing up! Max, a suggestion. Try and do 3 deeds for people today and look for NO recognition in return. Just helpful acts for the acts themselves. My goal is do this every day but I fall short quite often. Seems I long for the validation of my actions. I am learning to be more service oriented and trying to make it less about me.

Hi everyone and happy new year. My name is Max and I am a liar. Thank you for your suggestion, Mike. I will try to doing the 3 deeds.

Unfortunately I failed to meet my goal, and am back to 0 days honest. My wife brought up one of my old lies in conversation which she thought was true and I played along as if it was. I felt terrible about it and told her the truth a couple of hours later. I was too scared to admit it in the moment, which is really disappointing. Despite my best effort, I failed to meet my goal, and worse yet, I let down my wife by lying to her yet again. Unfortunately all I can do is learn from this moment and move one. Two weeks of complete honesty continues to elude me, but I will keep trying.

Good luck to everyone with their journey. I hope we can all find honesty and balance in the new year.

It's 2017 and I'm "back in the saddle again". It was nice having a few days off work. Routine is back to the daily grind and I know it will be easy to fall into old habits. So here I am reminding myself to stay tuned in and present. My ex has been trying to tweek old triggers. I am proud to say I recognized this behavior and did not engage. Also admit to my triggers in her discontent but know I am doing the best I can. There is an old outstanding task I need to complete that she could do but her passive aggressive behavior has thrown it on me. More reason to get her done so to speak I guess! All be kind to yourselves!

Rolling Stones: "You can't always get what you want, but if you try, you get what you need!" Have a great day!!

Hi everyone. My name is Max and I am a liar. I've been honest for 4 days, and am doing ok so far. I've been trying to focus more on my empathy and trying to learn to listen more during conversations rather than speak. Thank you for your suggestion of doing the 3 selfless deeds, Mikeyrg. I've been trying to make sure I do something daily without expecting anything back. I think it will go a long way towards changing my attitude. Good luck to everyone with their journey towards honesty. Happy 2017.
