Hi snoman..Welcome..
I know that feels to know I will run into someone that knows me at a meeting or something like that. But if your seeing someone there. Most likely they are there for the same reason. But I get it.
Catching yourself lieing will be just the tip of the iceburg. This is a progressive thing. Ultimately..Others will catch you in lies. People can only function for so long until your addiction will start telling on you.
There are other methods to get help. If your not comfortable with meetings. You can always find a one on one counselor. Maybe if there is another town close by where you dont know too many people or noone at all. You could always go that route.
But you have to try. Effort if most of it. Im my opinon. Not saying you havent tried.
But it is hard work. and you have to be really committed to stopping. And to stay stopped. It is possible.
This is a great palce with lots and lots of great people who are understanding and supportive. Lots of info here too.
Hope to see more of you.
