There are two things you need to know about compulsive lying: first, you cannot control it and second, it gets worse as you try to stop. What's the meaning of "stop"? You cannot stop compulsive lying because, even though you want to lie to make up for your mistakes or avoid dealing with the truth, you just can't seem to do it.
So, let's talk about how compulsive lying got you here in the first place. You lied to cover up something that is bothering you. Now that you're awake and aware of what's bothering you, what's the best thing to do? That's right, you continue to lie because you are afraid that if you tell the truth, that your partner will leave you, thus losing him or her. Or worse, that you will be caught, which will further deplete your already negative emotional charge.
In addition to all that, the truth is actually quite harmful to you. Research shows that people who lie face their families suffer more than those who tell the truth. Why? Because the family member feels guilty and is even more driven to cover up the mess. The sooner you learn the damage lies in the lies, the sooner you will be able to end the suffering.
As you can see, there is a clear link between what you are doing and your health and the health of your relationship. Are you trying to put compulsive lying behind you so that you can move on with your life? Of course not! It won't work that way either.
What you need to do instead is take a look at how you can correct this behavior. Once you know what has driven you to develop this habit, you have two options. You can either address the issue or work on your overall relationship to eliminate compulsive lying altogether.
Remember: no one is perfect and we all make mistakes. No one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. When you put your faith in God, he will deliver you through difficult times. When you are struggling with a problem, it's hard to do anything about it, but the truth is that the sooner you admit that you are having problems and then begin working to solve them, the better. Trust God and let him take care of the situation.
You can put compulsive lying behind you with the help of God. There really is a simple solution. If you are willing to obey his commandments, you will find peace and happiness in your life. He wants you to succeed because he wants you to be happy. He gave you a reason to live and now he is waiting for you to accept Christ into your life. What are you waiting for?
