Do I have to wait to stop cursing before I can be a someone

If you mean by “someone” a Christ-follower, then I don’t think that cursing or not cursing is a prerequisite. I do know that thoughtful followers of Christ pay close attention to the words they use. Jesus the One whom we follow said, “But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned” (Matthew 12:36-37).

I'd like to add that our words are a reflection of what is in our hearts (Matt 12:34).

If a behavior is in need of change, the heart is where to start.
