Hi ED ( and every one ).. hang in there. All we have is NOW.. That is all we have as far as time goes. Not the past and not the furture. Right now you can be who you want to be. Right NOW you have the power to change. Right NOW...... You can do it. Alexandra

Hello my name is Julio and i am a compulsive liar. Even when my girlfriend gave me the easy out to tell the truth I lied.

I need to stop this. I have hit rock bottom and can't continue like this.

my name is larry, new to the group....tired of being less than God, my family and friends deserve.... simply want the baggage removed of lying and replaced with honesty and integrity....

My name is Joel and I have accepted the fact that I am a compulsive liar. The act of lying and not necessarily the subject of the lies are ruining my ability to have a marriage where there is mutual respect and trust. I have told so many lies to my wife, friends co-workers, myself and virtually anyone I have come into contact with for as long as I can remember. I have lied so much that I now worry that the woman that I love is lying to me. She never has and never would. She is different from me in that respect. I want and need to stop this behavior. I could say that I lie to protect myself, I lie to protect others from the truth about how I feel about myself and the things that I do. I could go on and on with so many false reasons, but they are all BS. I am glad that I have found this group and I can see that I am not alone with this problem and that there are others who fell like me and want to change.

I lie sometimes. However, my biggest issue is that I exaggerate (don't even know how to spell it.) I guess it just makes me more interesting? What's my deal? Do I think people will think I am wonderful if my story is a little more outrageous? I am new to this site and I am asking God for help today... In my prayer time came to the whisper, "Google Liers Anonymous". Help.

Hi, i am a compulsive liar. That may be the first time I've said that other than to myself. I'm in my 30's and have been lying since high school. It started out with exagerations, now I lie impulsively and compulsively. Most of the time, it's because I'm scared, but sometimes it's for no reason at all. I told this guy I saw somebody catch a fish the other day with this whole big story behind it, and I was completely full of shit!!! I have been caught lying so many times, with some pretty bad consequenses, but I continue and it's getting worse. How anyone can trusta single word that comes out of my mouth is a mystery.
I have ruined my life with lies and don't know what to do, who to tell, and where to begin. I don't even remeber all the lies I've told. How do you apologize to someone that you're pretty sure you've lied to but can't remeber what it was you lied about?
Oh yeah, I HATE asking for help. Good combination, a very stubburn liar.
Thanks and good luck.

Hi. My name is Mark and I'm a compulsive liar. I can't control it but I want to change. It's ruined my life and close relationships several times. And just when I thought I had it under control, I've managed to come right back to the same place. I hurt people with this. I never thought such a thing actually existed until I read all of these posts. Now I know I'm not alone. More scared than ever I think but wanting to tackle this.

My name is Zoe. I am a liar. At this moment I am completely powerless over my lies. I want to be in control. I want to say what I want to say when I want to say it, not let my actions or words speak louder than I do.
At this moment I feel like I'm throwing up and I can't stop. That's how out of control I feel.

Hello everyone. My name is Amber and I am a liar. I am ready to change. I just hope it's not too late for my marriage.. I'm tired of lying to myself and those I love. I'm such a liar, that I actually believe my lies after I tell them.

Hi my name is Mandy.. I ave to stop lying. It might already be too late for my marriage. Im so scared and don't know what to do

I too am a liar. I want it to end. I lie to my husband thinking i am protecting him but in the end I only cause more pain. He is willing to work on us, but first I must acknowledge and overcome this terrible habit. I want to be the best mother, wife, and friend I can be, and be truthful in doing it. I have only lied to him 5 times in our 7 years of marriage but that is 5 times too many and it is always money related. I need to overcome the fear that I have and get on the path to truthfulness. I have no friends here where I live and need some help. Thanks for listening.

My make is Frank, and I'm a liar. I've lied my way through life, and have destroyed so many relationships as a result. I've even lied to myself so much that my lies seem to have become my truth. I have - most likely had - a wonderfful GF and have ruined that relationship by my lies and deceit.

Right now I wish I could be in the company of others who share my problem. I need someone to cry with.

My name is Jay, and I am a pathological liar who has lived the life of rationalization and justification and gray area truth for many years. I have been exposed for what I am, and am horribly embarrassed and sorrowful for the hurt I have caused. My lying led to other problems like emotional and physical cheating on my wife through work, activity, and finally another woman. I have always been a loner, and have been unable to fully relay to my wife what is really on my heart, ever. I do not know why or how I became this way. I am ready to surrender this self loathing and internal dishonesty. I admit that when faced with truth or half truth (dishonesty), I am inclined to lie.

My name is Jay. I have been told that I am a liar and a deceiver. I have to take it at their words, and truly examine why I did these things and overcome it through surrender and admission.

Hey Jay,

I'm afraid this group isn't too active - but we can support each other if you want. I've started keeping a journal, and even though no-one reads it, it still seems to be helpful for me to process stuff. You are welcome to read it, and I encourage you to keep one as well.

I, for one, am no longer looking at this as a surfacy, behavioural issue. I'm starting to believe that this is a deeper, personality issue driven by coping mechanisms developed early in life for me. I'm trying address this by doing more than simply saying I'm going to "stop lying". I'm trying to use the lies - or even just the impulse to lie as a roadmap to discover deeper problems and work on them.
