good question janice,

i WISH i knew the answer!!!!! i read somewhere that old habits can be "unlearned" in two months by replacing them with new habits. i never had the where- with-all to actually try it, so i don't know first hand if it works. but it's worth a try!!! if it works for you, let me know. you can be the guinea pig!!!!!!

It is all self awareness. If you are aware of what you're doing, catch yourself when you go to do it and hold on,on acting in the manner that you want to break. It may become a new habit.

Pam, so you're saying...'Engage brain before opening mouth'?

Kim, the trick is to discover the good habit you want to use to replace the bad habit with.
