How to quit cursing so much?

somewhere over the rainbow Asked by sweet_bliss about 1 year ago, 7 answers.

I curse way too much, I'd like to quit all together, but my whole family used to cuss like sailors, so now I do too. I 'm always swearing, and I hate it. I've tried to just quit cold turkey but I swear without even realizing it. Someone please help me...

get a grip on my out of control mouth.

I would suggest that you make a point to pay close attention to what you say and seriously try to catch yourself before you slip up. Perhaps you can make a game of it and reward yourself somehow when you go a whole day without cursing.

Why do you dislike yourself cussing so much now?

To stop myself cussing, I used a swear jar: I put 50 cents in it every time I cussed. Also, I read a book recently, whoch says if you swear for every little thing, then you won't have a word to say when the big things come around. That helped me too. Hope it helps you, because cussing is a horrid habit. I haven't fully stopped now, because once you've learned the words, you can't unlearn them, but I have cut down more than 3 quarters.

Hope I helped.

For me, it's a case of knowing when it's appropriate. I trained as a primary/elementary school teacher, so every time I walk into a classroom environment, my brain automatically flicks a switch and my language changes.

I found it's good to have a substitute for a swear word. Like, when you find yourself about to say f**k, replace it with some ridiculous phrase like fudge brownies, or s**t gets replaced with shifting sands.

It's really hard to change a second-nature habit, and it's admirable that you're trying. Best of luck! happy
