No bad words in this question. Congratulations, you've done it!

Get an empty jar and a calendar. Ask your brother and others around you to stop you every time you use a word you shouldn't. Each time they catch you, drop a coin in the jar for each word. Each day you go without using bad language- mark off the day on the calendar. When you can go two weeks without using bad language, empty the jar and buy yourself and/or your brother a treat. Each time he uses a bad word, take a coin out of the jar. He and you will be motivated to control your language- him to earn the treat, and you to keep the change in your pocket.

Quit hanging around people who choose to use foul language.
Quit watching shows where they use foul language..
Read books or the bible...fill your mind with more useful, more powerful words.
You become like those with whom you spend the most time.
Lastly, just don't do it. You are an adult (maybe) you should have more self control/self respect than that.
Good luck :)
PS I think its very noble of you to stop for just that reason...I really respect you for that....

some man told me today that he plays golf with a friend who would just love to cuss, but has pledged to stop it.......so everytime the friend messes up playing golf, he puts his hand on his forehead and says, "MERCY"........HE NO LONGER USES BAD WORDS.... I have to ask where your parents are as I always washed my children's mouth out with ivory soap bar when they used very foul language

hear your own voice in your head before it comes out of your mouth. You can do it
