Talking to the person that you have lied to helps. It won't make the things same again, but well, it will help you find inner peace. It will let you know that the other person knows the truth now.

Acknowledge the mistake, acknowledge the consequences, and promise yourself you'll never do it again. It sounds trite, but if you really understand the pain you've caused other people, and allow yourself to feel for them, then your mistake has done its purpose and you can hope to learn from it. I think when we don't forgive ourselves is when we get caught in circles doing awful things because we don't think we're any better. Just pull yourself and acknowledge you're better than the mistake you made.

You need to earn self respect. You need to accept that you can't change the past, that you have to focus on the present and future. You need to tell people you hurt that you are sorry. It all starts with self respect!

I guess it is just two things , firstly, I have to know that I am human , it happens . We are not angels at any level, we do bad things so , we should accept ourselves and do not go far in blaming. Secondly, I should work on self soooo hard to stop that damn thing , I should obligate myself to stop being a liar , if i really wanna fix it in the future. I should think about people who trust me , they never deserve to be cheated on . That's it I guess .
