Have a kid around the house. That's the only thing that's worked for me.

Shhiiit man I wish I could give you some good ass advice
There's no such thing as "swearing", they're just words, which is proven when you try to use so-called substitutes. When you say "fudge" in frustration when there is no fudge present, you've now made a swear word.
Words aren't bad, ideas are bad. Words aren't bad, context is bad.

Try mindful breathing. Brings you back to the moment and more control of your habits

Fuck you and your "science"
People who constantly throw this statement around sound pretty dumb to me, to be honest.
Judging by what I've been called by children when playing games online, I don't think that matters
I have a friend who I play Pokemon Go with, and his swearing is embarrassing as hell. We show up to 10-20 player raids where families bring their kids and he drops F-bombs with no hesitation at all......over the smallest of matters. "Articuno jumped out of the fucking pokeball, what a piece of shit!"
It's weird, since he's actually a waiter/bartender so he is definitely able to control his language in that context.......but when he is outside of work he gives zero fucks.

I'd be concerned if people are regularly saying it to you.
Yea, god damnit.
Go wash your mouth with soap you filthy Heathen.

Just keep in mind that only incredibly stupid people think words can be bad. Your swearing can be a useful tool in avoiding them!

IÂ’m the only person I know who doesnÂ’t liberally swear. It comes off pretty crass.
People who swear regularly mainly just piss me off because they never know how to stop when they are in the mall or at Disney with me and thereÂ’s little kids right behind them
But I donÂ’t care much when itÂ’s just around me, and IÂ’ll drop one if itÂ’s right. That way they at least still have meaning when I use them

When you curse you just correct yourself on the spot and replace the swear word with a non swear word. Over the course of months you'll be able to control it.
I majored in profanity in Jr High and High School and have enjoyed many years saying the most vile things with out restraint. It wasn't until I got a job in education that I had to learn to curb it. It did take months before I could control it.

Sometimes when talking, you can open the tap and let whatever fly. And sometimes you should be able to filter it in various degrees including a setting that just scrubs out swear words. It requires a small delay before speaking as the words must detour through the brain on their way from the gut.
I have a friend like this its like there's no conception of mindfulness whatsoever. Unaware of context and his surroundings
My advice is to just chill out and think before talking for a bit

Got dandruff, some of it itches.
I hardly ever swear. I wasn't even raised that way, because my parents do swear when in an informal setting, especially my mom, lol.
The only thing that you might hear me say if I am upset is "ScheiĂźe". (German is my native language by the way .) ScheiĂźe is not really considered a swear word in German though, I guess. If the weather is terrible no one will flinch if you call it "ScheiĂźwetter" Or if someone tells you of the bad luck they had and you respond sympathetically: "Oh, das ist natĂĽrlich ScheiĂźe...

Swearing just reminds me of kids that just discovered swearing and keep doing it as social acceptance among their friends.

Always imagine there is a family with children eating lunch behind you.

Swearing is a sign of intelligence.
