Why do they lie?
So most of you know my story. My ex is in a treatment program (I have now started to receive the bills from ins co) and so he is going. He still very much acts like an addict with his behavior.
But why the lies? Is this still because he is in addictive thinking? I mean he lies about everything. I cant even get a straight story from him. So I guess I can still reassure myself that he is still not working a program because he is still lying right?
I still need to treat him as if he is an addict because of the lies right???
I just dont understand why he cant be honest. He was never like this before the drugs so I have to conclude that it is a direct result of the drug abuse.
I am just so tired of being lied to. It has gotten to the point where I just dont even bring anything up because it will end up being a lie.
I feel that honest is the first step in true recovery.
Does anyone else agree?
