Good evening. Well here I am, a liar. Someone whose untruths has ruined many lives including my own. I can’t do this anymore. My other half of 10 years made me realize I have a real problem and I recognize now that I need help. I’m very afraid though. I’m afraid that everyone I’ve lied to in the past will NEVER see me as anything but a liar no matter what I do. But what drives me the most? My highest motivation to stop lying is the fact that I don’t want to lose the man I love. He’s standing by me while I go through this. Here’s what I know: even though lying gives me a temporary release to a certain situation, I know I am trapped. I don’t want to be a slave anymore. I want to be free. I want that freedom that honest people have. The clear conscience. The integrity and honor. More than ever, I want that. So here it goes. First step right? I have a problem lying and I need help. Now to move forward. Any advice or tips will be greatly appreciated.

Your point that it enslaves you is so true. It is an awful situation for yourself and your loved ones. Here are a few points that have helped me. Read this blog to see what others have been doing, and to remind yourself what damage is done by lying. Do some self evaluation on why you do it (fear, ego, selfishness, wishing you were something better, like made more money or were better educated, etc.) and plan some things you can do to to change yourself for the better. There are many other things you can do, but my last thought for now is not to let those issues you wish were better tempt you to lie. Be okay with yourself, and that you are working on becoming better, then keep working on it. You can do it.

Welcome to a judgement free zone. Life is so hard sometimes, and it shows strength of character to admit when and where we cannot go it alone. It's a long struggle, but well worth it. We r here for you.

I understand the way you feel, I am here for the same reason. I want to be better but being better starts with asking for help so here I am.
