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!
Lying to my wife has been an act of betrayal. Facing that daily has been a heavy burden that must be lifted to be free. The pain I have caused her is almost unbearable. I must daily try to make it go away. Our love for each other helps make the task easier, but nothing causes the hurt and humiliation go away for her. Understanding her feelings for a liar is very difficult. My main job the rest of my life is to not lie to my wife and hope she can forgive me for all the years of my disease. God please help me.
I feel your pain, it's a horrible addiction I have done the same to my husband..too many times and caused too much pain. He has been an angel to me and stuck with me - but there is a huge strain on it. The fact that you have admitted that you have a problem is the biggest step towards getting better. I can only offer my own efforts for survival and that is a daily prayer, looking at myself in the mirror each day and asking, if I lie who will I hurt? If you know the answer to that, stop and think before you speak. If you show your wife the steps that you are going to take to stop the lying, she may take it to heart. Keep the faith and stay strong!
