I feel you buddy. I'm 28 and definitely still struggle with the worst blocks. I just launched the first Slack-based stuttering community for professionals who stutter and we have over 150+ members already - you should join, it's totally free ([www.stutterfreely.com](https://www.stutterfreely.com)). The reason I mention this is that launching this 3 months ago and seeing other professionals who stutter in the workplace has completely changed my life and how I view my speech challenges. Our brain is trained to think our stutter is bad and fluency is good, when in fact there's nothing wrong with our stutter and it's just our accent. That's what happens when you're constantly surrounded by people who speak differently than you. We keep trying to speak fluently and perfectly and hide our stutter to the extent we can. This makes it harder on our minds and bodies and ultimately, our speech becomes worse. The key to control your speech more is to accept that you have a stutter, disclose you have a stutter when speaking to people, and try to change your stutter so you're stuttering more easily and smoothly. This is no easy task and that's why joining a free stuttering community like mine can really help you go down a more positive journey with your speech. It all starts with the mind. Once we fix our mind and the way we think about our speech, we can start changing our stuttering patterns. We can never get rid of our stutter, but we can change it and it again, it all starts with improving how you perceive and accept your stutter. I think joining the community can really benefit you. Feel free to join on our website, but nonetheless, cheers to personal growth in 2023 :)
