Lying and Dishonesty I never wanted to lie but if the choice was to hide the stutter then I'd lie all day, regardless of the trouble it got me in. Looking back I became a skillful liar which led to dishonestly which to a crumbling of my character which lead to burying myself in alcohol, drugs and other addictions - a process that took years to develop. With help and support I've done the work on myself and see failing to lead an honest life had such negative consequences.
