1. If one ever happens to do Gheebat (backbiting) one should tell the target of Gheebat that i have done Gheebat about you. It would be hugely embarrassing and really painful to do it, but this is the cure of this illness. If one forces oneself to do it a few times then should InshaAllah one would remember how painful it was to do it the last time, and would be able to stop oneself from doing Gheebat next time.
2. Hazrat Hasan Basri RA said that when you are about to say something bad about another person think about your own bad habits and sins. There is not a single human being in this world who doesn't have any flaws. Think that how can I talk ill about others when I am myself full of such and such flaws.
3. Think of all the punishments that Allah and Allah's Prophet SAW have said will be bestowed upon people who do Gheebat, and think that for a sentence that will take a few sentences to utter I will have to face such severe punishments.
4. Keep praying to Allah SWT to help you quit this bad habit. If someone starts doing Gheebat in a gathering immediately pray to Allah SWT to protect you from it
