A man laying in his death bed realizes he is wrong. He opens his mind and heart to Jesus and asks for forgivness. In his life he did not realize what was happening until the end. Is he saved? Yes.
Moral of the story... it is never to late for anything.
To make that change, first you must realize that you need to change. Cant fix a problem if you dont know about it, right? Once you have established that you need to fix it, figure out a way. In your case, what I would do? I would make a concious effort everyday to look twice at all my thoughts and every situation I am in. When someone challenges me, I will give out 110% effort to meet that challenge. Whether it is a football game or a game of wits (or as sometime I get into at work, a yelling match! :>) Just be aware of everything and such. When asked a question or make a statement, think about it, and if it is what you beleive, then stick to your answer. Dont cave in and dont run from it. Stick with it and back yourself up. Give all the reasons and support for your answer.
Hope this helped.
