This has been a very helpful thread, as I was looking for this exact topic to apply to myself (I was brought up in south Jersey, where the F-word is as commonly used as “if, and, the” and other such necessary parts of speech 🙂

I have been trying to stop this very bad habit, but, knowing what’s right and good, and DOING what’s right and good, and stopping this habit, is proving very difficult.

So, I’m asking if anyone has ideas on how to curb this bad habit?

I had started carrying a notebook and writing down each time I used a particular vulgarity, but, remembering to write things down proves to be just as difficult as remembering to not use vulgarities to begin with! LOL

I keep praying for the grace to stop this habit. What more can I do? Ideas needed 🙂

Thanks
I am also from the south and I know exactly what you are saying… I prayed to God during mass to rid me of this awful habit. It took about a year of praying at weekly mass, but now I rarely use foul language. My prayers were answered.
