I need to stop cussing. Any suggestions?

A swear jar. Every time you swear, you put 25 cents in it. Tell those around you to make sure you do this. So, the best place to have one would be at work and at home.

Swear box in & around your home/workplace. Just fucking do it! :¬)

Keep a rubber band on your hand. Anytime you catch yourself swear snap it.

@erichw1504 Great minds eh? Simultaneous posts….don’t you just hate em?

Duct tape.

Dammit! I don’t know! LOL. Just kidding. Just try taking it one day at a time. Don’t think to yourself, “I won’t cuss ever again.” Just think to yourself, “I won’t cuss today.” If you do that everyday you should eventually break the habit and maybe you won’t even need to consciously think about it. Good luck!

I 3rd the motion for a ‘Swear Box’ and agree with @erichw1504 for asking others to hold you accountable in order to help break the habit. Mom used to charge my sister and me $.05 every time we said “Shut up!” to each other. I once conscientiously blew a week’s allowance in order to say it. It was worth the investment. In the long run, it also made us aware of thinking before speaking.

Take into consideration what kind of influence cursing can have on others. How would you feel if another person judged you poorly solely based upon some potentially vulgar word that was used? How badly would you feel if a child picked up the language and upon questioning of the parents said, ” @smokeweedeveryday taught it to me.”

@ucme No, they’re my favorite.

@erichw1504 Oh okay, whichever.

Just STFU! ;)

Challenge yourself to come up with alternatives. I still use my mom’s “God… bless America!” and “Oh Shi..h Tzu”

Don’t give up swearing altogether though. When you use it judiciously people know you mean business.

@Blueroses or “Oh shi[i]..take mushrooms are my favorite!

But I must say, I third the swear jar! It’s a great way to get yourself to stop, but it will only work if it is enforced! good luck!

Take two Fukitol® tablets and call me in the morning…

Determine to show some respect to yourself and those around you.

I hear the F bomb about every thirty seconds when school starts in the fall. I work at an alternative High School. Its now early November and I hear the f bomb much, much less. Why?
I model an array of alternative euphemisms that most of the kids think are pretty hysterical: Dagnabit, Daburnit, Dagumit, Sufferin Succotash, Gosh/Golly/Gee, Gee Willickers, Holy Cow, Holy Moly Batman, etc. When you make someone laugh using one of these words instead of your usual F* my life….you will then be inspired to use more of them and watch old looney toons to pick up some more.

@Joybird I love reclaiming old exclamatory phrases! It’s so funny when a teen says “balderdash!” or “shenanigans!”

And you may need to supplement that scrip of Fukitol® with a daily dose of Mycoxaflopin®.

@HungryGuy Punctuated with Aciphex®? I find it hard to believe nobody said that name out loud in the marketing strategy meetings!

@Blueroses – Well, now we have to be careful not to cause a harmful drug interaction here :-p

Every time you curse, flush a little bit of your weed down the toilet.

Hah! Swear jars and swear snaps…hahahaha

Maybe wash your own mouth out with soap too? ;-)
Yeah…just carry a little squirt bottle of handsoap and every time you slip up you get a squirt in the mouth. Tell all your friends so they can help keep you accountable. lol

Envision someone you like and respect who doesn’t cuss and think about how other people react to them.

Find something else to say.

start saying stuff like “nutbunnies” and “fiddlesticks”

Every dirty word gets a twin for example with the same first (two) letters.

Shoot.
Astonishing.
Son of a gun.
Money is lucky.

Be creative.

@Blondesjon :Haha that might ought to do the trick.
