Hello everyone out there. I don't know how this works. I'm a little anxious & scared to be honest. But I am seeking help and I found this website. I registered and saw this group and joined. I tried to find a meeting but because of COVID-19, it's hard to find anyone doing any out there. I just experienced something really bad because of my lying. Nothing in respects of my health or safety but my life is in proverbial ruins because I lied to the one I love: my girlfriend of 3 years. And it wasn't the first time. She has taken me back many times and worked with me to solve my lying addiction but today, the straw that broke the camels back has occurred and she is finished with me. I'm not sure if she's going to take me back and I have to come with grips with the fact that it's over....she has been amazing & so patient with me. I believe she deserves the best. That's why I'm doing whatever it takes to seek help and rid myself of this addiction. So, my basic question to anyone out there: Where do I start? How can I join a meeting online? Where can I get help?......thank you for any and all help that you can give. God Bless.
I am with you both on this - been doing it since I was a kid. It started as a way to make myself look better or get people to like me and then just got worse and worse over the past 30 years. I have lost friends, family, jobs and now my marriage is close to ending because of it. After 8 years of lying to my husband him putting up with it and forgiving me each time - this last one was the kicker. He has put divorce on the table and told me that we have now gotten to a point where he does not believe a word I say and doesn't think that he ever can again. I don't want to lose him - i know he is my soul mate but this addiction is destroying everything.
I joined this group, began praying, keeping a journal, looking at myself in the mirror every day and asking myself "If I lie today, who do I hurt? What will it cause?" And I say it out-loud - I admit the fact that I am a liar and I need to fix it. They aren't full proof solutions, but I have found over the past weeks they have helped somewhat. Whether it's enough to salvage my marriage, I don't know but I'm going to try. We need to support each other in beating this horrible addiction. Stay strong everyone!
