This is truly AWESOME!!!! It took me 35 years to accept my stutter and to stop fighting it. Once I accepted it and frankly, I just didn't care anymore that I stuttered. That day was monumental because all the anger, resentment, shame, guilt and anxiety left my body. It's been 9 years since that memorable day and I'm living my best life. Don't get me wrong, I still have blocks but I simply don't care about them and they do not control my life. I wish they had this when I was growing up.
