ok, it has taken me about 20 years to get real and face this denial. I have a tendancy to call in sick about once a month or more when I am not sick. I wake up and think" I really dont want to go today" so I think up some excuse and call in.

I am going to college right now and this last semester I missed at least 5 times in each class. Once I said my dad was in hospital..he is sick..but it was a lie. Then I may have failed a class because of this, and I start trying to defend myself, and play all innocent like it was all out of my control that my dad was in hospital. All a lie! I am 44 years old. An adult, yet I act like a child about it. I am trying to figure out WHY the heck I do this, and how I can stop it. It has gotten me into trouble many times, and then I act all upset and mad when it gets me into trouble.

HELP!!!
