Need advice

[TheGraken]

Hello, I am new to Christian Forums I am 20 years old, and am from Canada.

We'll heres a bit of background info on why I'm here; I had a breakthrough the other night, and basically, I want to become a better person.

I was always very negative in life, also, I tend to swear when having conversations. I want to change this, I want to have a more positive attitude and kick swearing out of my vocab. If anyone has any advice on this, don't be shy and lemme know! This is the reason I am posting here.

Also, recently, I find that I do not enjoy drinking anymore. The after-effects, as well as the regrets are so not worth it. I've been clubbing sober for St-Patties, and I trully ask myself "is this me when I drink"? How would I cope or enjoy a night out, without the use of alcohol?

Thanks for reading this post! God bless

Welcome to Christian Forums.

You are on the right path, with Jesus' help you will be able to overcome those habits. Keep strong in your conviction, pray often and find people that will encourage you in the right way and to help hold you accountable; I can't stress this enough.

Don't forget to find friends who are okay with you not drinking. If they are really your friends, they won't force you to drink. If you can find Christians that a plus because you can party without having the pressure to drink. Welcome to Christian Forums!!!!

As a behavior specialist at a middle school, what I tell my students is don't try to stop the swearing altogether, just find a replacement for it. Same goes for any other negative behavior you want to change. Find "socially acceptable" replacement words and use those in place of the actual swear words. I have a sixth grader who now yells out "why the face?" which is 100 times better than the string of words he used to yell out. lol
