Hi. My name is Krysta. I lied today. I had gone 12 days without a lie. Today I fell off the wagon. It wasn't to my husband or family or friends - but it was still a lie.

Tomorrow is a new day. I will start fresh and continue on the path of honesty.

Lina - you have taken the first step. Be proud of that. Admitting it and realizing what it has cost you and reaching out - it is all progress. We are all here for you.

Hi, I'm Tom. My lying about the past has to stop. It is destroying my marriage. Truth cannot be managed.

Forrman is not my real name. I just discovered this site. I lie, usually, because I think it will protect me. Sometimes lying diverts some issues away from me but it is such bad kharma. I am here because my "little lies" have destroyed my wife's trust in me, virtually destroying our marriage...

Hi my name is Dawn, and I'm a liar. I've said that out loud before. Not sure how I feel

What I meant was that I've Never said that I'm a liar out loud before.

Hi My name is Vicky and I am a liar. Wow that actually feels good! This is my first day and I am doing this one day at a time.

Hi Vicky, welcome to the group. You probably didn't know "BEING HONEST" about something as simple as this could feel so good. One day at a time is all we can do; one thing that has helped me is waking up, looking in the mirror and saying to myself "TODAY I WILL BE NOT TELL A LIE". The world needs more people like us who can actually admit that we have a problem.

Good morning Vicki. Yes, one day at a time is what we strive for. I hope that you are doing well with your struggle to overcome this problem we all share. Not a day goes by where I don't think about the lies I have told in the past. Even though they were in my past, they remain with me everyday as a lesson on how to live each day now. Back when I first confronted my problem of lying, I felt that it was necessary to keep track of how many days I would go without telling a lie. This in itself was good in that I was able to prove to myself that I could indeed go for long periods without telling a lie. But what i have come to realize is that it is far more important to focus on each day on its own. The past is the past, and no matter how many days or weeks I would put behind me without telling a lie, they were all negated when one would be told. I would be back to the beginning each time. Take each day on its own. Learn from how you were able to be honest the previous days, but realize that the present day you are living is what matters

Hello my name is Jesse. And i am a liar. I jave a problem and I was about the lose my lovely girl who i have dated for aver a year now just because of lies. i wanna change things and do everything better. I'm glad I have found a group who has people just like me.

Hello, my name is DIego, and I am a liar. I've lied to everyone in my life, most of the time for no reason at all. I kept telling myself its just one lie, its not going to effect anything, and while in the short-term that may be true, eventually the truth will be revealed, and the ones you hurt will be there to let you know how they feel. I almost lost everything I have because of lying. The woman I love, my closest friends, connections with my family, all affected because I hide the truth from them. I want to change, to become a better person who isn't afraid of those who know him best. I hope that being in this group will help to do that

Hey Im Greg I started my day off with lies and I cant seem to stop.

My name is Gina. I just joined. I am a liar. I have not lied in 5 days. I seem to do good for awhile, then crash and burn. I hope by finally admitting my lies out loud and pubically, I can stay on track towards my quest towards telling the truth for the rest of my life.

Hello Everyone!

I have spent the past few hours reading everyone's posts and was hesitant to join and reply. I am in love with a compulsive liar and I have been seeking understanding about this addiction and why my boyfriend continues to lie to me. We have been together almost two years and this past May I learned some lies about him that literally rocked my world and I am still trying to recover. Since my discovery of his lies, he has acknowledged some of the wrong decisions and choices he made and has promised on several occasions to seek help and to change. I feel that he has lied for so long it's now second nature to him. I must say that I have gained a lot of insight about this illness from all of you and I thank you for your transparency and willingness to share your truths about yourself. It's encouraging to me that my boyfriend can change, IF he wants to change. This is what I struggle with everyday. Whether or not he really wants to change his behaviors. I have read that many of you have mentioned that your lies have damaged your relationships with your wives and girlfriends. However, in most cases, it seems that the women in your lives still stand by your side and support you. I have been very supportive of my boyfriend, yet it is so difficult to stay since he continues to lie to me. I have proof of his lies. I have tried to leave him but feel compelled not to give up on him or us. He is a kind, loving, affectionate person but I know that good people make bad choices. He tells me he loves me everyday and I feel that he does. I just want him to show his love through his actions and not lying to me. I just really want him to accept responsibility for his actions and find the strength within to admit that he is a liar and his lies have hurt many people and they continue to hurt me.

Am I lying to myself to believe that he will change so that I can learn how to trust him again?

Does anyone know of a support group for the wives/girlfriends of compulsive liars?

Again, I thank you all for sharing and enlightening me. Any advice is welcomed. I am praying about asking him to join this support group. He says he will do anything to keep me in his life but rarely follows through with actions.

I am so conflicted.

This is Roke and I am a liar.

Hello all, my name is Paul and I am a compulsive liar. I'm not sure when I started lying, but I'm sure it was to keep or stop someone from being upset with me. I have a wonderful friend and roommate that I have severely damaged over the past ten years or so with my lying but it just seems much easier to lie than to confront the truth of the situation. I am just not sure where to go from here, but I know if I don't start somewhere, I will continue to lose everything and everyone around me. I am going to continue to read through these posts, hoping for something that may help me figure out how in the world to stop lying. Everyone says it is just as easy as not taking a drink or not doing drugs. I know it's hard work for everyone, but damn this seems so difficult. Maybe the best thing I can do for today is start with right here, right now,
