Do you mean an addict? Like could they change ? If that is what you mean then yes, good sobriety fosters change- it has to. Getting honest about your addiction, abstaining and self help can revamp an entire person and their lives. I am an alcoholic. I use a 12 step program. I am not who I used to be. In fact, I am such a good person now, with such honesty and integrity that I would go through the pain and sorrow of alcoholism and the brutal withdrawals if I knew I would end up who I am today.

He feels that it "wasn't him", doing what he did. He asks forgiveness, which seems to at least indicate that he accepts responsibility for what he did. Or does it?

Words dont matter. How are his actions?

Can suffering big consequences from a major judgement error make one so truly sorry that they make radical change?

It depends on how devastating those consequences were and how willing one is to truly change.
