You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The main issue may be that Pathological or compulsive lying is not considered an entity in itself, but a symptom of some other psychiatric condition. and therefore cannot be treated separate from treatment of the main disorder.

This hasn't stopped people from self-diagnosis, or from attempts by lay-people (non-psychiatric community) to label lying and addiction an try to cure it like alcoholism.
Here are a few examples of anonymous treatment web sites for liars:
There is a web page called "Liars Anonymous" that is part of a web site called "Daily Strength Group". As far as I can tell, it offers only on-line help as of now, no face to face meetings as in AA. It also is unclear whether they actually follow a 12 step program. The Daily Strength Group is made up of 12 step programs, but it appears as though this may be an exception.
