I retired not because of stuttering but for other personal reasons (had to move the family, had some minor medical matters that made working at a desk less desirable) but mostly because I was lucky to be able to retire - those personal reasons did not make working impossible. If I hadn’t been lucky financially I would have continued working because I would have been afraid to retire. The stuttering made me socially avoidant at work which made work a lot less enjoyable so maybe in that way stuttering did contribute to retirement. On the other hand, many people find work to be undesirable for many different reasons. My big mistake was not figuring out how to be more comfortable socially with my stutter. There are stutterers who figure that out and seem to have more social outlets and satisfying relationships while I am insecure with others and find relationships difficult. In the long run my happiness is related more to my relationships but I found that out a bit late. I am trying to remedy that now though. I wish you the very best as you move forward in life!
