2nd entry today

I feel like there is more that I need to get out, so a 2nd post is necessary.  I wrote the earlier entry and am sitting her thinking about myself as a person and can't help but wonder why I lie about such stupid things.
I know that in the situation I can see that it's wrong to do, but I let certain triggers control my knee jerk reactions to lie.  I had conquered a couple of them within the past couple of months, but stress as a trigger seems to be the biggest to overcome and has forced me to take a step back in recovery.
Stress is a rough one.  I can see and hear myself telling the lie, but I didn't stop it.  That is a tough realization for me.  Stress is going to be very difficult and will take a lot of determination and self awareness to not let it control me and cause me to lie.
