I totally agree with the person that said "reward and punish". Just get someone to let you know when you say like, and when you dont say like for maybe a whole day, then go get your nails done, or go have some "you" time. It will help alot. (I used to do this alot!)
Hope I helped :)

i used to do this A LOT. it drove my mom crazy. what she started doing was telling me every time i said "like." by making me aware every time i said it, i started to think about what i was about to say and chose to use different words. ask your friends to let you know when you say it, that might help.

hey
you have to use the process of reward & punish. reward yourself when you're speaking & don't use the word like. for example, go one day without saying 'like' unnecessarily and reward yourself with something you really want, like a craving.
i myself have this problem, and i told my friends to slap me / punch me everytime i say like unnecessarily. it gets the job done. i get so angry when they slap me that i force myself to stop saying it. it really helps.
but, for when you're not around your friends & talking on aim, copy & paste each conversation onto a microsoft word document, go to "Edit" (at the top) - "Find" & then type in the word "like." it helps see how much you're improving.

Each time you say the word "like", snap your fingers behind your back, or something like that. It will get annoying, so you will stop.
Also, say like 50 times in a row. You will get sick of the word and you wont say it as often. Think about what you are going to say before you say it too.
Hope I helped.
