I must agree, this is my first comment on reddit, I made it just for my stuttering family because we're all one. Not going to lie, i scammed through your story bro and I agree. I wanted to say that from what I see you practice very hard. I myself for the past two days putting my al into speaking out loud, I realized I feared away from it my whole life because I an "Great conversation speaker", but HO-RRi-BLE "book speaker/reading words". I dissected my stuttering habits, and after two days. First, I knew I couldn't read from a book, Second I learned the letters that made me stutter the worst, Third I focused on how to pronounce them softly, Fourth I learned how to control my breathing by gentling pushing air right under most words, Fifth started emphasizing every couple of words Sixth I personally been rapping and looking at my favorite rapper lyrics like Nas or JayZ and copy their flow and make my own after. I've found a new love for speaking now I dont think Ill ever stop.
