Hey guys, LD young adult in Northern California. I am well aware that I haven't posted in a while let me just begin by saying, I hope in the most authentic way that all of you are safe and in your homes with your loved ones. Man it's been quite some time, since I last posted and trust me its not because I'm cured and stopped lying. What happened was my freshman year at the University of Arizona is coming to a close and as a result I have a couple of finals for my classes. However, while it may seem like a legit reason, it all started on April 30th, when I mostly honestly got a good grade on the exam, I was so impressed by my ability to not cheat, that I decided to as they say, convince myself that I was cured even though, I had my practice quizzes open and did use the internet, yet it did not help. Also to add flame to the fire of honesty, I had also been offered test questions and declined, while that may seem like progress, it was more that I didn't want to get into another situation, where I drag someone into my cheating like the story that got me into this group, the cheating on my Ecology Lab 8 homework assignment triggering both of us to be suspected for plagerism, luckily, he didn't get caught I on the other hand did. Which again, I am entirely good with because I was lying profusely to not just my teachers, but my dad, mom, therapist, step-mom, sister, friends, frankly anybody who knew me on a somewhat intimate level. The point is while it seemed all just and Noah's making progress in the moment, my reasoning was for the wrong reasons. It wasn't I don't want them because I don't want to cheat, it was, I don't want them so I drag you into my cheating. You see, and this whole story, combined by semi-honestly and getting a great grade on the exam, made me fee like damn, I beat this, while in reality the only thing I had beaten was the ability to routinely regulate myself. Anyway, I know this is a long post, but it is making up for lost time, and again, I am continuing to grow and improve.
