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!
My Name is Domingo and I recently joined this support group today. I'm newly married and I've read your entire post and I could relate to some parts.
I am here because I have a problem. I'm a compulsive liar.
My lying stemmed from childhood when I was age 10. I thought that if I made stuff up, I would get away from it. 20 years later, I have lied about little things, but I didn't think they were big at the time. I have a great wife named (T, whose identity I will protect) and she loves me very much. For the last month, I've been lying to her about overspending money and making assumptions and over all, just lying and afraid to tell the truth. We had a discussion about this and I felt so weak when I couldn't answer her questions properly. I felt scared, and was afraid of what would happen if the truth had been known.
That was my thinking as a child, that if I told the truth, bad things would happen. Although, when I did tell the truth, nothing bad happened at all. When I did tell the truth, the exact opposite happened. Nothing. Since the discussion, I'm making an effort to stop lying once and for all and be firm in my conversations.
Thank you

I was on day 3, but lied to my family about why I was leaving a wedding early. It was for a good reason, but still, it was a lie. :(
Back to Day 1.
I am proud to say that I am on day 5 of not lying to my spouse!
We can do this!!
