Shortly after I quit drinking, I also decided to quit lying, cold turkey. Did I entirely succeed? I’d be lying if I said yes. I’ve certainly made progress, starting with my confession that I had a serious problem with alcohol. It took me nearly 30 years to realize that, even in the short term, the truth almost always gets a better reaction than lying.
