Need to quit cursing, cussing, and swearing.

[WaRpEd]

Ok bros, help me out here.

I would very much so like to quit cursing. I feel it degrades my personality and its leaking into places it shouldn't be leaking into. I it's a big hindrance in many parts of my life, and I would very much so at least like to cut back. Also I feel that when (never say IF) I do this it will help me work on many other aspects (such as thinking before I talk, overall classiness, and what have you)

So I need some ideas here. I'll try putting a selected amount money in a jar, but I know I'll break down and use it for gas or laundry like it would have been used for anyways. My mom's not here to back-hand me and my roommates would curse me out if I asked (in a funny way, lol).

Any Ideas? Suggestions? Comments? Constructive criticism? Any one want to to quit bad-mothin' with me?

Just be conscious of it and you'll cut back. I've been trying to do the same thing, as I have the mouth of a sailor when I'm having a bad day. Now I only curse in front of my closer friends an try and avoid swearing or showing anything but upbeat positive emotions when I'm around the general public. At least in this way I can still get my cursing and swearing out of the way, amongst people who don't care. I try not to swear much in front of my girl, either.

A damn or a sh!t ain't bad, but when you start droppin f-bombs and other profanities in every phrase, it sounds very low class

Practice talking to your self with no curse words.... Do it for 1 month and you will see improvement.

Every time you swear, $5 goes into a jar. That money goes to a charity or church. Whatever you choose. It's a win win situation.

I won't swear around children, but man do I love dropping a good "F" bomb now and then. "****" has got to me one of my all time favorite words in the english language... I ****ing love it!

Cursing isn't a bad thing... it just depends on the audience and the context. If you're telling a story to some people it can make things a lot more interesting because of the shock value and the political incorrectness. But if you're going up to approach women... don't cuss... even though they probably curse like sailors.

It is the perfect word isn't it.

I'm dealing with this issue too. I swear a lot, but am trying to cut back haha.

Funny, I've gotten to a point where I'm happy with my pickup skills, happy with my body, happy with my education, etc. But I still have trouble being polite.

Put a jar in your room and every time you swear pop a quarter in there. It's not so much to take your money away, just to give true weight to your words.

What the **** is wrong with you?

Tell your friends that if you cuss it's okay for them to kick you.

I am not joking. In a cople of weeks you'll be fine or in the hospital.

What the **** is wrong with you?

I used to curse and swear all the time when I was young.


But one day something told, just stop and you know what.
I did stop.


It was God who helped.. Ask him to help you.

I've always tried to be consious about it, but simply thinking to myself about it isn't going to work, everybody has a different learning process (especially me)

But anyways I've put a rubber band around my wrist (my V-Chip as I call it) and everytime I drop one I pop the...you know (lol)...out of myself. I've noticed a distinct decrease in how many times I've slipped up. Because I'm thinking about it, physically doing something about it, and a small sting everytime simply reminds me what I'm trying to do...though I think I need a stronger rubber band.
