You are probably going to hate this advice, but the best thing I did for myself was to face speaking dead-on in my late teens/early 20's. I made it a point to put myself in stressful speaking situations, and over time (not overnight) I essentially jaded myself to it. I'm 44 now, and am roughly 90% fluent. It's things like being very tired or drinking too much that make me stutter now...essentially its a lack of focus on how I talk physically (plenty of air in my lungs with a deep breath first) and not making it a point to be assertive when I talk & make eye contact. A huge part of my point is that during this time (later 90s) I had no technological option to assist me on phone calls, etc. Let me know what you think...I really haven't had this discussion with other people who stutter. It just occurred to me to look up a Reddit stuttering group about 15 minutes ago. :) ​ EDIT: I should add that a huge realization for me was that I was going to be scared to talk, regardless. So, I can be scared & say nothing, and as a result get nothing. Or, I can be scared...talk & get something. I was really pissed-off that I stuttered and couldn't communicate the way I wanted to, and refused to accept it.
