Ohh, alcohol. That was my relief for couple of years. Drank every single time I went out with friends, lunch, events, picnics. It made my anxiety and fear go away making me feel more comfortable and confident to talk to everyone. And less stuttering, that was really important for me. And then it turns out I'm an alcoholic. (of course stuttering wasn't the only cause of that, many things have happened in my life, alcohol was my way how to deal with that) Haven't had a drink in more than 3 years. I stutter more than even. But I've accepted it. It's a part of me.
