Help me! I want to stop lying.......

To whom it may concern,

I fear that I may be a compulsive liar. I have continued to lie about random issues just to take the heat off myself, put a band aid on a problem, etc. I really want to stop!

My husband has caught me "red handed" per say and I have continually lied to him. Anything from sexual issues to bills. My most recent offense was telling him that our power bill was on a level payment plan, when in actuality it was not and our service was disconnected.($1500 in arrears)

My most important thing right now is the fact that I want to save my marriage and continue to raise our children in one home together.

Anyone have any tips or excercises that I can try to help myself? I really don't want to lose my family.
