Is it possible for a compulsive liar to recover if he claims to be working on the issue?

Is this someone you care about in your life, that you are concerned for? I do believe it IS possible, maybe if you write more, we can help you better

FOOZE!!!!!!!!!!
I couldn't have said it better myself!!!!  Robinalex.....I think it is possible, but not probable. If I were in your shoes, I might look for this persons actions and behaviors to back up their words and statements. If you don't see the evidence and all you are hearing is diarrhea of the mouth, chances are that's all it is.

I think fool zero said it best.....but just to add my 2 cents worth, for me, I would need a lot of proof like seeing that everything the person said was true for several years before I would believe that they were actually recovered.
I am the kind of person who trusts someone until I find out they have lied to me.....then I never trust them again. If they change...the burden of proof is on them to prove any change.....& then it takes almost forever for me to ever trust them again & I never trust without some lever of mistrust. Like my husband....not a compulsive lier, he just couldn't admit that he didn't know something & would tell me what he knew as if it were fact.....most of the time he was wrong.....but for some reason because I was married to him, I kept asking him questions....could't train myself as long as I was around him to now ask questions.....so I left. I feel that life is tough enough without having to deal with others issues.....just don't need to even worry if someone is lying to me or not. just be ware & be careful eskielover
