Do you think people can really change?

Like if you drink a lot or do any thing like having a bad temper? etc etc

Answer:
Only if they want to,but if they have a reason to ,they are definitely able to change.
Talking from experience...
of course!
♥ It is definatly possible. My Grandfather drank for 35 yrs. && quit && has been sober for 3 yrs.
Yes I do. If you have a desire to that is. Sometimes it is not an easy thing to do. It helps to have a support system. A friend or relative to help give you moral support.
Yes that's what it's all about.
With God all things are possible. It is often about choices and what is easy. To get rid of a bad habit replace it with something else. My friend quit smoking and every time he wanted a smoke he would throw money in a jar. Pretty soon he quit drinking and every time he wanted a drink he would put the cost of a drink in a jar. He started doing this when his wife became pregnant. By the time 9 months were up not only did he buy a complete baby bedroom set, he also bought his wife a new living room set and dining set with the money he had saved. Good plan huh. He also became a Christian during this time. Mmm
Yes, people can change - - if they choose to. The thing is, you cannot make a person change; the change has to come from within that person. You can give information and advice, but you cannot force a person's changes. There are many factors involved in why the person behaves a certain way and that person has to understand why he/she responds that way. A good starting point is understanding that you do NOT have to REACT to a stimuli automatically like a rat. A human is more than that. A human can ACT to control it's environment, situation - therefore change his/her behavior.
Yes; people can really change if they are true , honest and really want to do so with all their will power. You can change your self if you change the way you think and the way you react to a situation. The same way we form habits (constantly doing something over and over until it forms into a new habit) Is the same way we learn to change.
Without a doubt. My wife and I have each changed ourselves and the other for the better during our 30 year marriage. In a bad relationship, people can change for the worst. It's like letting your child hang out with gang bangers--he/she will be influenced. Other folks gave you good answers about changing personal habits like drinking and smoking, but you can and should also change your moral and ethical beliefs and standards as you mature. One of the nice things about getting old--and there are many positives, btw--is that you have a life of experience to draw upon in order to change for the better. I used to fret about being late. I always leave for important appointments early enough to deal with a flat tire or traffic jam. Small change but with a huge decrease in my anxiety level. My wife used to be a bit of an untidy person who always misplaced things. I've taught her to have a place for everything and always put it in the same place. She's taught me to be more spontaneous. We've taught each other greater kindness, patience and tolerance. Drinking? I stopped 10 years ago without much trouble. My wife used to have a much shorter fuse and now she seldom gets angry. If you cannot change a situation, you accept it--not fight it or regret the pass. I'll bet if you really looked at your own life, you can find a lot of personal changes. Some good; maybe some not so good. Hang out with the winners and other people will influence you, too. That's why organizations like AA work.
yeah u can change
I personally think that there is change, and there is control.
One sometimes controls behavior, and yes it could be changed, but the underlying disposition would still be there.
Even AA says you are a recovering alcoholic not completely recovered.
As with a temper, one controls it..(or at least, lets hope they are working on it).
Different days. different situations may set a person like this off...good luck and thank you for asking my opinion.
I just think it varied from person to person; I know this one guy and the way his attitude is and everything else he is not going to quit smoking.
