I’m new here. I have a really bad lying problem when it comes to my family. Occasionally i will tell little lies to friends or new people or my partner but the bigger, more hurtful lies are always directed at my family. I’ve been caught so many times in a lie and yet i keep doing it, not always maliciously but I even lie about useless things (such as saying my friend and i went to an arcade when we really went out to dinner). I recently had a conversation with my dad that really opened my eyes. I want to stop lying and get better, im working on a list of the lies ive told and the manipulation ive done but im not sure how else to proceed. My dad is hurt but he is so supportive of my recovery but my siblings are so hurt and angry me and im not sure how to fix things with any of them. Ive created this world of lies and making myself the victim. My family doesn’t know who i am anymore and neither do I. I’m scared that nothing will help and I’ll never have a relationship with my family again. If anyone who has been in recovery for a while has any advice I’ll gladly listen. I’m sorry if some of this doesn’t make sense or if it’s hard to read. I just kind of word vomited
