Began self monitoring my own tongue some time ago & the GD has been gone for some time. I’m still in need of help with my temper and loose tongue though.
Hope Trump will refrain from the GD and Lord’s name in vain and instead speak louder on SENDING ENEMY OF STATE BACK TO THEIR HOMELANDS.

Sometimes with my jr high students I would utter the great W.C. Fields's line Godfrey Daniels!! They all thought I had sworn. Phrases like "Oh my goodness" or "My gosh" were supposedly invented by Puritan children to avoid blaspheming. But God's name, and how to say it, is lost to us because Hebrews at first only whispered His name יהוה when they encountered in scriptures and later stopped even doing that. We don't know which vowels go between the consonants.

Same here and also monitoring taking Jesus name in vain. Don’t do either any more.
