and I'm not a fan of lying. I lied on here because I felt I had to, and now I don't have to anymore. I'm scared that by posting this I might be forced to leave, but I would rather leave an honest woman that stay and lie to people I consider my friends. When I joined I chose to lie about my age, making myself 2 years older, of course my presence here as InChains remains legal and within the terms and conditions of the site, the few of you who have been aware of me before this point will be aware of what thsi means beyond that. I just wanted to say I'm sorry and tell you all the truth

Hi Inchy. I have a lot of respect for you coming and telling the truth. Honesty feels good, doesn't it? Whatever age you are is really irrelevant to me. You could be 12 or 120 - I don't care. I lived a carnival of lies when I was drinking. Being rigorously honest is something I always *thought* I did, but I realize I was fooling myself a lot of the time.

When I have been dishonest, most of the time the person I hurt the most is me.

I hope you feel a sense of relief right now just getting this off of your chest. Hopefully you can move forward now as a participant here - getting and giving support - without that burden.

A long time ago (before you knew me as TG) I was here for about 2 hours openly, I was kicked off the site then for being underage, although its legal for me to be here now I am just hoping there aren't any repercussions for the truth regarding my being here before...

I can't imagine their would be Inchy. If anyone contacts you, just tell the truth that you have just been seeking help.

:l

I wish I would have had the foresight to seek sobriety at a much much younger age. You are doing the right thing.

Inchy, never worry. You are a wise head on young shoulders and have made yourself a part of this wonderful group. I wish that other young people could be fortunate enough to have your vision. I worry about my own teenagers and their drinking habits.
By being here you have made a decision to ensure you are taking steps towards a great future! Don't beat yourself up over a little white lie.......I have nothing but admiration for you! You go girl and push as hard as you can to get the life you want. To be so wise at this age I am sure you will go on to do great things and benefit many in the future. Lots of love and good luck:l:h

Hi, Inchy.

You have done a good thing by telling the truth, and who cares how old/young you are?? The point is--you are trying to get well and looking for help. That is what is important!! Keep trying, and I know that you will succeed. As DG said, wish I'd had this ite when I was your age!!

Take care of yourself!

I forgive you InChains. When I first saw this thread, I thought that the lie was worse.

Inchy - no worries. We are family. I sometimes would like to lie about my age...of course going the OTHER way! X X O O
