We all mess up.  Sometimes it’s accidental, and sometimes we make a bad choice.  Whatever the case, once we realize there’s a problem with our behavior, honestly is the best way out.  Yes, you will likely have a consequence, but it’s nothing compared to the consequence you’ll face if you lie about it or try to cover up your misdoing.
