yeah, my problems definitely constantly change and the coping mechanisms continue to evolve and fail as well. i think you are right, the weed probably isn't helping you out. i feel the best regarding my speech now than i have felt probably ever. i've tried to cut out as many avoidance behaviorisms as possible and weird "tricks" (i still do "uhhss" and "i thinks" and "and all that" sometimes but you can't be perfect!), just say what i want to say, be realistic about my stutter, and have a positive attitude. i'm also pretty healthy right now, not drinking too much or involved in drugs, exercising, and meditating.
