Excellent. For anyone who read that and still prefers to hide from their problems, imagine if you could start and have a conversation with someone and not have to deal with an emotional penalty regardless of how much you stuttered or spoke fluently. That's what it's like once you break the avoidance habits. Stuttering doesn't control your life anymore. It just happens sometimes, and it's as easy to deal with as an accent.
