I speak up a lot more. I don't get anxious about ordering food. I volunteer for things I would never have considered before. I'm still the same stutterer. I'm just fluent. All the psychological wounds and scars from stuttering didn't magically disappear. Stuttering can have a significant impact on your personality during childhood and teen years. You don't become a different person. You're still you. It's a confidence boost when you do things you would have never considered prior to becoming fluent. I used to get out of public speaking assignments in middle school and high school. I'd tell the teacher and counselor that I simply couldn't do it. Now I own the room when I speak in front of a class or large group. It feels WONDERFUL to flex my fluency like that. Most everyone there has no idea I'm a stutterer. I'm not silver tongued by any means. But damn it feels good to do something you used to consider an impossibility.
