Liars Anonymous Community Group
A support group to provide those with a compulsive addiction to lie a place to share hope, strength and courage with others like them; solve our common problem and help others with a compulsion to lie. We aren't alone!
The AAs have to call or text or email their sponsors every day. Since this is the best thing we got, and after reading some of the other topics, I'm going to propose that we do the same, just to touch base.
Hi, my name's Russ, and I'm a liar. I've been honest for 3 days.

Yesterday was a success - day 1.
Onwards!
One of the things that has kept me from getting help/ recognizing my problem before was my assumptions of how people would view me after they knew I had this problem. I have really been encouraged by the support of my closest friends and family.
It feels like I am constantly being tested by the universe. I find myself in situations where I would normally lie (or my instinct is to lie). I have to admit that I am starting to see these times as opportunities instead of hurdles. Every time I am honest I feel a little better about myself and I am rebuilding trust with those that I care about. Not that the truth is easy, sometimes it goes against everything that I want to do.
One day at a time. Today I will stop and breath and think before I speak.
I am so thankful for this group. I don't know if I could do this without the knowledge that there are several other people who are struggling with the same things.
Just checking in today. LOTS of personal turmoil in my life today. Turns out 2 of my kids are not speaking to me right now :-( They don't know how to handle their feelings about me since my wife is divorcing me. Hopefully this is a season that will pass quickly. At least I have a good relationship with one of my kids and we talk frequently. These are some dark days full of untrue accusations and there is no way to prove that they are false.
Day 27 continued to be a lie free day for me so I've got that going for me :-)
we have to suffer to get well. but once in recovery, pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
I know that sounds bleak, but the reality is becoming honest we will suffer and feel pain for our past deeds, but there is a bright healthy future.
Larry, sorry things are so tough - for a while I had a tough time with my children - one threatened to kill me, but then softened and said he would only fuck me up - now he and I are as close as ever - it just takes time.
