the truth

there definately is hope. i'm in the early stages of recovery so i'm still suffering greatly with this disease, but i still believe there is always hope. the first step to turning things around for me was to start to empathize with those you are lying to. i used to have no regard for the feelings of those people i was lying to... i figured what they didn't know wouldn't hurt them. but when you start to feel guilty for the lies you DON'T get caught in, i think that is a turning point. you can beat this. it's gonna be hard because this is a disease that only YOU can hold yourself accountable. too many people aren't educated enough about this to see it as a disease. take it day by day... read My Confession About Lies (my post) and watch my progress/slip-ups and maybe it will help. i'm doing this alone too but we do have each other - you won't be judged here.
