How to live with a severe stutter? The same way like live without it. Your and most stutterers' mistake is that you think that if you do not stutter, you will not be lonely, you will be satisfied with your life, you will find a decent job and, most importantly, you will be happy. This is such an interesting and powerful illusion, and while you are in it, you are building your relationship with stuttering as your worst enemy, and having enemies is always associated with fear. Try to indoctrinate yourself that your life at the moment is your maximum. You can not change anything for the better. And act on the best life that is available to you at THIS point in your life. Stop blaming your stuttering on your failures, fears, etc. After a while you will learn to work with reality and feel better inside. Stop trying to get rid of your stuttering. Realize that you will not become happier, you will remain a unit of society like everyone else around you, that stuttering is vicious circle. And to make yourself realize this, practice endlessly until you feel sick of it. And then again and again. And then ask yourself the question, "Do I need to stutter if, by not stuttering, I have not found happiness?". And make stuttering a part of your daily routine, just like your morning breakfast.
