Mainly, forcing myself to repeat things without swearing helped more than anything.
Lately, I only swear very rarely, and usually in association with something strongly emotional.
I don’t think replacement words have any value at all.

Make sure that you follow the directions on the package. Use a a measuring cup to measure out the exact amount of water you need. Stir the kool-aid really well, so you make sure all the powder is gone. If it’s the kind you add sugar, measure the sugar exactly and stir it to make sure it all is gone, too. If the sugar won’t disappear, then use a little hot water with the sugar first to make it melt. If you are young, then have an adult help with the hot water part.
That’s how I’m doing it. It’s annoying, and I slipped hard in the last two days, but I’ve noticed that it’s not hard to say something meaningful without the swear words, and it requires thinking, so maybe less swearing makes me smarter?
