I dont swear that much, but I would really like to just stop all together. What is the best way to stop?

Take a deep breath in before you speak. Count to three and think about what you're going to say before you say ANYTHING. It helps. Oh, and tell your friends to call you out on your cursing if they catch you.
If you want to inject some humor, try using some really goofy phrases instead. When I'm at work and I feel the frustration set in, I say really dumb, off-the-wall things like "Mother of PEARL!" or "Sweet Fancy Moses!" I mean - just random things, which makes people laugh.

Everytime you swear put $5 dollars in a jar, bowl, whatever. When you've stopped swearing, go treat yourself with the money - simple as that.
I should follow my own advice, but good luck!

Think about how uneducated it makes you sound. You could also have a swear jar and fine yourself a quarter or whatever amount. You don't get to keep the money, but must donate it to a charity.

Every time you feel you're about to say a swear word, take a deep breath and think of another way of saying it. What feels like a weird pause to you won't be noticeable to the people you're talking to.

Yes, do the jar trick but you need help from other people so you don't cheat. I charged my husband $1 everytime he swears in my presence. Last X-mas I bought Louis Vuitton purse from the money in the jar!
He's learning... I suspect I can't buy any purse this year...

To get saved. You do that by asking forgiveness for all your sins and praying that the Lord Jesus Christ will come into your heart and if you believe on His name and confess with your mouth He will clean you up inside and out. I think the root cause is bitterness and anger. You will then be able to forgive others once you are forgiven yourself. God gives you a new mind, new heart and new mouth all at once! Think on good things and meditate upon the Word of God daily and commit favorite verses to memory. Learn spiritual songs and sing them to yourself during the day. When your heart is full of Christ, there is no room for sin. I am not being flippant or giving you a "pat" answer. This is sincere and truly has been proven to work in the lives of men and women everywhere. The retirement benefits are out of this world too! Not to mention the peace, joy and love that comes with serving Jesus. May you find deliverance through Him!

Don't hang around with people who swear, and don't watch TV programs that swear.

Wear a rubber band around your wrist and snap it everytime you curse. Hopefully the pain will deter you from swearing.

what you need is a personal restrainer. best restrainer is a 250 pounds, 7 ft tall African American with a small but sharp poker.
your restrainer follows you everywhere you go.
every time you swear he pokes you "gently" with his poker.
if you cry "what the F**K" he pokes you again.
after a few times you stop swearing, or you die and than stop swearing.
