Start by making a concious effort to notice when you swear. Once you've got that down, everytime you do, do something negative. Bite your tongue, or anything painful. Eventually you'll associate the two.

I don't know what to do about my swearing. Can someone tell me how to get rid of that swearing habbit? It's just terrible and I have realized that for the past 2-3 weeks now, and it's messing up my life. Please help.
i just went through this bro, i made myself to
30push ups every time i cussed *EACH WORD*. this made me stop in about 1 or 2 days because if your saying 5 words minimum a day thats 150 push ups.
They say it takes 27 days to make a habit, and 29 days to stop a habit (Not sure on the days, but around 27 days). Like me I'd stop swearing and cussing for as long as I can and just remember what I tried to do.
I have a pretty bad cussing habit too, but when I'm around my parents it's like I censor them out lol
