Clark you and I sound like the same person, it's been the worst day of my life I think

Hi folks. My name is Greg, and I am a liar. First of all, I would like to say welcome to you folks who are new to this group. We all share stories that have many similarities, and we are all here for similar reasons. None of us are here to judge anyone, we are here to offer our support and different perspectives on our common problem. And just to have this as our 'meeting room' gives us a focus and venue to express our thoughts and feelings on a day to day basis. Well, on a sort of day to day basis, but you know what I mean.

Wow, I'm stunned and awed by how many people are joining this group and saying hello! It's great! I'm so happy to see all of you on here! My name's Russ, I'm a liar. I've been honest for 17 days now. I've been drained and out of touch lately, and for that, I apologize. Just glad to be back in the groove. Hope you all are doing well. Welcome to the newcomers. You're home now.

Good work Russ! No need to apologize for anything here. Just check in when you can or need to. There seems to always be somebody here to listen to what you need to say. Like I may have mentioned before, the daily check-in can be very loosely interpreted. What is important is that we have a venue where we can say what we need to say at the time, or just get the reassurance that we are not alone in this struggle. I am glad to see you back here. Drop me a line sometime.

I am day 1 of no lies

I've def slipped up a bit in the last couple of days. I've come clean about the lies afterward, without being caught, but it's still hard to change that first instinct from lying to telling the truth.

Well Today is day 11 for me, I can't remember having gone this long without lying in, well I can't remember a time that I went more than a couple days in a row.

I wanted to say thanks to all of you on here, your stories, advice, and own will to fix the problem have been a huge help in dealing with the situation.

A couple things that I have been trying to do that have been a big help to me are 1- Like many of you I have an extreme problem with the lie just slipping out before I even filter it, so Since I have been focusing on NOT lying, it blares in my head when I almost did lie, and sadly that has happened a few times, and thank goodness I haven't lied as of yet, but I tell my girlfriend about the fact that I ALMOST lied, and her and I discuss why I almost lied, why I didn't lie, and how it feels to not lie. I will openly admit that at the time it doesn't feel the greatest, but as the anxiety fades it feels better, ever time. and 2- Since I tend to lie in many many different types of situations I also took an entire evening talking to her about those times, and how she might handle them, and why she handles them that way. I hate admitting it but I don't know how to live my life WITHOUT the lying, so the prospect of learning it all again, goes beyond Daunting, but I have the most supportive girlfriend who has been patient and supportive in eerything with me.

Still a long road but I feel better about the thought of doing it, thank you all of you again.

I really wish I could be on here more often and still do need alot of help. i like what I read and it makes me feel like maybe I can actaully fix this. This is day 2 for me

Hi everyone. I'm Scott, and I'm a liar. This is day 2. Thanks.

hey this is clark, i havent been on for 2 days in a row, ive been working. not lieing is really hard. i just start with out realizing and i notice later on. its horrible. and even if i get called on it, i either bluff, or i just dont talk about it. its so hard for me to tell the truth too.

My name is Mike and I'm a liar. Ive been honest for 2 days.

Hi folks. My name is Greg, and I am a liar. Today has been a really tough day, sort of a repeat of yesterday. Consequences of past lies are rearing their ugly heads, and my marriage looks to become the casualty here. This is the first day in a while that I am feeling really low and am glad that I have you folks to relate to.
Thanks for all of you being here.

I'm Mike, and I'm a liar. Today begins what I hope will be day 3. A talk with my partner last night was very disheartening if I'm taking her meaning correctly. I can only try to be strong and do this for me at this point.

Hi everyone, I'm checking in. I'm on 3 solid days right now, and hoping I can stay good when I go back to work tomorrow. Keep up the good work everyone! You're not alone!

So far so good on day 3. hard to tell since no opportunities to slip back cropped up, but i believe that even realizing no opportunities happened is a significant step because i make myself think about them and be aware of them. hopefully tomorrow will make day 4 of a lifetime of days.
