I have failed miserably over and over again with drive-thrus until one day I told myself "who cares if I stutter". Some of the anxiety and fear seemed to fade away and I just did it. I had some minor hiccups but I did it and my reward was a delicious Texas hamburger 🍔, onion rings and a extra-large Dr Pepper. For me, this was a win and I kept at it until it became boring.....no more anxiety, no more fear......nothing was going to hold me back from ordering what I wanted. This life is very hard, it's a daily struggle, hourly struggle, a minute by minute struggle but I'm in control now, not my stutter. There is a freedom in letting go of all that stress, anxiety and fear and just live your life. I shouldn't even be here but by the grace of a homeless man who told me that a gun in my hand under a bridge isn't going to solve anything and that we all have a purpose on this earth.
