Hi everyone. My name is Max and I am a liar. I'm at 9 days honest, and staying on track so far. I was sick all day yesterday, and spent most of my time sleeping, so this isn't much an accomplishment. Still, I'm 1 day closer to 2 weeks, and I hope to keep going. Good luck to everyone with their journey. Keep up the work :)

Hello everyone. My name is Chuck and I am a liar. Lying is such an integrated part of my life that I do not even know where to begin. Over the last year and a quarter, I have kept money that I was receiving from one of my divorced parents for myself and continuously lying about it to the parent that has actually taken care of me for the entirety of my life. I feel like a sick animal that does not deserve to live. I am at the moment 0 days honest,I dont even know when the last lie i told was there are so many. This would be my first time reaching out to others to help me on my journey to honesty and integrity, and I hope I can start repairing the trust that I have broken so many times

Hi everyone. My name is Max and I am a liar. I'm up to 10 days honest so far, and once again getting close to my two week mark. 4 days to go.

Welcome, Chuck. It's good to see you starting to take steps in the right direction to establish an honest routine. Modifying behavior and reducing lying is a very difficult task, but it can be done by anyone as long as they stay committed. This is a very slow process, so prepare to be patient. One of the strategies I found very helpful was learning to accept and love who I really am. Most of us struggle with low self-esteem and feelings of worthlessness. We rely on lying to feel like we have control, and to try to make ourselves look better in front of others. Perhaps you share this struggle too.

The first person I had to start being honest with was myself. This does not mean self-deprecation and harsh judgement, but an honest, hard evaluation and acceptance. I am 28 years old and just now learning how to drive. I felt like I am not a real man because I did not have this skill. I made up an elaborate lie about a being in a horrific car accident which "prevented" me from learning how to drive, when in reality it was my own insecurity that held me back. The only way for me to move forward was to accept this fact, forgive (not excuse) myself for developing this unhealthy coping strategy and take direct actions to address my inability. I believe all of us can sight some shortcoming which we chose to run from through our lying. We all made a chose to stop running, and so have you. I am proud of you for choosing to make this change. Welcome to the community, and good luck on your journey. Take it one step at a time, start small, start by looking inwards, and never give up. You can do this :)

Checking in for today. Thank you for the kind words Max, truly committing to stop lying is a difficult process, and I know I cannot really do it alone and it is difficult to really start talking about it with my family at the moment. You are kind of right on my struggle, in that I lie at times in order to make myself look better in front of others, but I tend to lie over very insignificant things for absolutely no reason at all. I often do not really gain anything out of the lie, just a feeling of "Why did I say that?". This would be one of many attempts to finally stop lying, but I believe that this time, now that I can actually see that I am not alone in this struggle, I might be able to make actual progress.

I am going to model your goal Max, taking it one step at a time, and try for two weeks as well. So goodbye until my next check in guys, I am Chuck and I am a liar. I am 1 day honest with a goal to be honest for at least 2 weeks. Until next time.

Hi everyone. My name is Max and I am a liar. I've been honest for 11 days, and am excited to be getting close to my goal. In the past, I've struggled the most with the last 3 days, so I'll have to be on high alert going forward. I'll do my very best to meet my goal. Good luck to everyone with their journey. Take it slow, and stay persistent. We can do this.

Hello all, I missed yesterdays check in. My name is Chuck and I am a liar and I am two days honest. This will be my second attempt to begin the path of honesty and integrity as I fell a few hours into the first start by lying to a friend in order to cover up an insecurity I have about my diminishing hearing. Staying accountable is difficult, especially if you have made lying a habit your entire life, but that is what this website is for. Stay strong all and keep going. Until next time

Hi everyone. My name is Max and I am a liar. I've been honest for 12 days, and am making good progress. I'm excited to be so close to meeting my goal. The last two times I failed on day 13, so today will be a good chance to evaluate my progress. I hope to do better than last time. Telling the truth has definitely gotten easier, but old habits have a way of popping back up at the least opportune times. As always, good luck to everyone with their journey towards honesty. We all have good days, and we all have bad days. Stay positive and keep pushing forwards, on day at a time.

Hi everyone. My name is Max and I am a liar. I've made it to 13 days, and have one more day to go. If I am successful today, it will be my longest stretch of honesty thus far. I'll have to watch my thoughts and actions very closely today. Good luck to everyone with their journey. One day at a time.

Hi everyone. My name is Max and I am a liar. I've finally made it to day 14. It feels good to finally meet my goal. I intend to keep going for as long as I can. The more honest I am, the more free I feel. There is a great deal of relief in knowing that I don't have to remember and keep straight my own bullshit. Lying is burden I introduced into my own life, for no good reason. Good luck to everyone with their journey. This behavior modification project has been the most difficult thing I've done so far, but definitely the most worthwhile.

Hi everyone. My name is Max and I am a liar. Sadly I am back to 0 days honest. It's always such a humbling experience each time I fall short of honesty. This incident happened while I was playing cards with some friends. I screwed up dealing, and accidentally dealt myself an extra card. Instead of admitting it right away, I kept quiet until someone noticed. Hilariously enough I was afraid to speak the truth about something so small and inconsequential, even while among friends, even after all this time. It is a good reminder of just how far I still have left to go. I'm resetting my counter and shooting for 3 weeks honesty this time. I don't know if I'll be successful, but at least it'll be a good learning experience and another challenge. Good luck to everyone with their journey towards honesty. Be kind to yourself, and never give up. One day at a time.

Hi everyone. My name is Max and I am a liar. Unfortunately I'm only at two days honest. On Friday I exaggerated a story while having a casual conversation with one of my coworkers. My old habits are definitely still around, and I will have to make a more concerted effort to curb them. I'v failed to stick to my routine in the last 3 days, and the results speak for themselves. It's time to for me to get back on track and start prioritizing honesty above everything else again. My goal is still 3 weeks. 19 more days to go. Good luck to everyone with their journey towards honesty. One day at a time.

Hi everyone. My name is Max and I am a liar. I'm back to 0 days honest. I've been slipping up a lot lately. I'm unhappy with this trend and will do everything I can to get back on track. Good luck to everyone with their journey towards honesty. One day at a time.

Hi everyone. My name is Max and I am a liar. I've been honest for 1 day so far, and I really want to make this a hard reset for my week. I've been doing relatively well until recently but notice myself falling back to lying. I think my issue has been complacency, and failing to maintain the work I've put in up until this point. I have a number of strategies developed to deal with my lying, and I simply have to stick to them. Good luck to everyone with their journey towards honesty. I think we can all get better.

My name is Lucy, I'm a liar, and although I have been very good for several weeks now I haven't been checking in regularly. It's important that I remember that I have a problem and keep reminding myself of how far I have come from the person I was when I joined this group.

Hi everyone. My name is Max and I am a liar. I've been honest for 3 days, but am struggle to avoid my dishonest tendencies. This is quire frustrating for me. I've made it for 14 consecutive days, and now I'm struggling to get to 3. I don't know what changed. Perhaps I started to feel comfortable in my ability to control my lying and stopped monitoring it as carefully as I have in the past. It's time to re-evaluate my approach and establish good routines again. I am not going back to the way I was before making my commitment to be honest. Good luck to everyone with their journey towards honesty. No matter how slow progress may appear, never give up. We can do this.
