Hi i am lee i am a liar, just checking in, i have been honest for 5 days now.

Good morning everyone! I survived yesterday. It was rough at points but I did it. So I can now proudly say that my name is Gabriel, I am a liar, and this is my third day lie free.

Just checking in. Another hard day of questioning things of the past but I remained lie free which was not too hard since I have already come clean about everything in my past and having to explain expenses on our bank account and my paypal account. All had credible explanations but since credibility has been lost my answers are not believed. Sailor I am getting better when falsely accused about saying "I'm sorry that you feel that way" and not being as defensive as I was - realizing there is nothing I can do to change their mind. It is up to them to sort out the truth once I tell it.

Day 19.

Not the easiest day at all. Swan good for you.. It's slow and hard but worth it.

Sailor - glad to hear you're working the steps - they can be a powerful tool in the recovery process.

Today I will be grateful to my Higher Power for giving me the courage to tell the truth. Day 98

Hi everyone. My name is Gabriel and I am a liar. Going on day 4 lie free. Things have been rough the last couple of days. My fiancée is in need of financial assistance in the near future and I want to help so badly but I can't. The lying Gabriel would say something to make her feel better right now and try to keep up that lie until it blows up in my face. But in my head it is more important that she feel better right now. That was the old me. I am being completely honest in that I MIGHT be able to help in a few months depending on how a few things play out. She is still stressed and hurting and I feel guilty for that. It's not my fault (it's not anyone's fault) but I keep trying to accept responsibility for her stress. Grrrr... As long as I can stay honest I know that things will work out better in the end.

My thoughts are with you Gabriel.

I understand your situation too well. Epically since finances were one of my biggest issues with lying. I would suggest acknowledging your fiancée's stress and anxiety to her. Even if you know there is nothing you can do ask her anyway if there is something you can do. Sometime just asking if you can help goes a long way.


Honestly I have lost track of how many days I have been lie free. Not sure if that's a good thing or not. Just trying to take it a single day at a time trying to go the whole day with out lying.

First timer. Am going to try to get through today without lying, deception, half-truths or convenient omissions. Prayers are welcome.

Welcome Barton, relax and slow down... think before you speak....Gabriel, I feel your pain - good luck.
Roller-coaster weekend but I learned some important lessons. Understanding that many time the things I think or perceive as the things others want to make them happy are not correct at all. In fact it is much simpler than that. Just sharing my thoughts, my thought processes, my fears and irritations... this is what makes her happy. Light bulb moment. Wishing everyone a lie free Monday.

Day 5! My name is Gabriel and I am a liar. I survived the weekend and it was a rough one. I resisted the urge to lie about my financial situation and was honest (for a change). I still feel the guilt of not being "good enough" to fix my fiancées problems although if I had lied I still wouldn't have been able to fix her problems and would have only been jeopardizing our relationship further.

I am focusing on today only. I will worry about tomorrow tomorrow.

Happy no-lie Monday!!!

welcome Barton - I suggest you page through the past week's post to see how others have coped with their lying - there is some very good advice.

Hope all have good lie-free Monday

My name is Larry and I'm checking in today. Feeling just slightly stronger today than I have been. Like half a point on a 10 point scale :-) The more I can believe that my higher power has things in control the more at peace I am. Easy to say but difficult for me to do is "one day at a time". Good news is that I continue to be lie free.

Hi I'm Fulgencio and I'm a liar. This is my first day on this site and the beginning of a long journey.

'As I shared my secrets, fantasies and character defects with others and in meetings, I felt my Higher Power working through these friends to help me get well. I could not be free just by wishing to be free; I have to tell the truth to my Higher Power, to myself and to another human being. I have to be willing to listen to other members as they share their conflicts.'

Have a lie-free Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! Day 5 and struggling this morning a little with guilt. Most of my lies were financial in nature and suddenly my financial situation is going to change dramatically in the next 6 months or so. The change is so much that it sounds like one of my lies. The problem? Some of those whose opinions I value don't believe me, and I can't prove it yet.

I'm not mad at them for not believing me or taking me on my word. After all, what have I done in the past to earn that trust. I feel guilty for letting those people down and causing the lack of trust in me.

I know that as long as I hang in there, I will be able to prove what I say within a month or two but I am so angry at myself for even getting in this situation in the first place.
