I'm told I swear too much

[OhBalls]

I completely understand the tazer thing...

but a less evasive thing that works is placing a rubber band on your wrist and each time you catch yourself swearing....

SNAP!!

after awhile, you'll stop

[littleindiangirl]

To me it's more of a situational habit. Many years ago when I used to work in construction, swearing was so common place that it just became part of your regular conversation. The problem came at the end of the day when I left the work site it was hard to shut that off and my mom got mad at me several times for my foul mouth. Even today when I'm in with a group of people who swear a lot, I'll pick up on that and then later at home my wife will comment on my language. A lot of times I just don't realize I'm doing it. I don't know what to do about it other then getting in the habit of thinking about what you say before you say it, which can be a lot harder then it sounds. However it's probably a good habit to get into even for people who don't swear a lot. Just take a breath, count to 5, and think about what you're going to say before you say it.

Depends on who's telling and what their definition of "Too much" is.... LOL .... sounds good at least!

I didn't swear nearly as much until I started working in the shop.. that's all there really is to do there. Alot of times I notice the same thing. I cuss alot and Shannon beats me I think once it's a habit it's nearly impossible to stop.

Realization is the first step...

Knowing that you do it and trying to not do it again is the MOST important thing.

You just have to pay more attention to what you say.

The butt chewing I took was the worst part. My Grandmother chewed in to me real fierce. You know how those old girls can mentally shrink ya when they get mad? Well Grandma shrunk me.

"Such a nice and handsome young man is what people used to say about you, but now you're just a filthy potty mouth! One of these days you'll either learn or you won't. Such a shame."
