I share this at meetings and still get weird looks: I was BORN a liar. I remember my mother calling me out on it as a small child. It is in my nature to lie for some reason.
I am almost through the steps for the first time, but I can tell you, for me, stopping drinking does not quell my urge to lie. I do it because it is easier than telling the truth.
I do my inventory every night before bed and the frequency of my lies has greatly decreased. They kept/keep me up at night so I am not comfortable doing it anymore. But I am not perfect, so I just strive for honesty.
Does anyone else get the "convenience" factor? (Did you eat all the ice cream?) I have no idea why I feel the need to lie about **** like that.
