"Overcoming" to me means not worrying about any social situations anymore. I have achieved this "worry-free" stutter, but I still catch myself blocking. Nevertheless, I am grateful for this achievement. And as somebody else said - seeing the opposite sex attracted to you is a great indicator that you have stopped worrying about your stutter & started living life - getting in shape, wearing clean clothes, on top of your hygiene & talking to a lot more people. These were the factors that marked my own improvement. P.S I would love to chat with you & give you feedback on your improvement. DM me, freely!
