>>Success Stories? Yes. 50M here. I didn't get fluent until my 20's. You are NOT too old to get fluent. I remember how bad it was being a young man with a stutter. Just wanting to be heard. Failing hard when trying to make a new friend or talk to a girl. It sucked. I was a severe stutterer from my earliest memory. Severe, as in, never a fluent sentence. Blocks so bad that I ran out of air. I knew I would always stutter. The blocks grew from a 'simple' stutter to jaw-locked blocks that would last until I ran out of breath. At about age 13, I went to the optician's office to pick up my glasses. When I got to the counter I had a really bad block. I couldn't get my name out. The counter person handled it really poorly, which just aggravated my stutter. I couldn't get anything out. They literally kicked me out of the store. They thought I was chanting, or wrong in the head, or whatever. Words can't do justice to the feelings of hurt, shame, and anger I felt that day. Over 30 years later, and that memory still hurts. I doubt anyone outside of this forum can understand what that felt like. Saw my speech therapist in my mid teens. It didn't help much. But that's on me. I didn't put in the work. When I returned to the same therapist in my 20's, I made significant and rapid improvement. For me, it was about putting in the time and effort. Like going to the gym or learning an instrument. If you only work out with the trainer once a week, or only play during your lesson, you won't improve. Fluency is a lot like that. You have to work at it. Putting in less than a year of work has given me over 20 years of fluency. I'm not without blocks, but I am mostly fluent. Most of the people I work with take months to years before they realize I have a stutter. These are people I talk to every day. In my time in this subreddit, I am gathering that there is a world of difference when it comes to speech therapists. I always advocate for speech therapy. And if you've done the work and put in the time, and it's not working, then seek a different therapist. You *can* do this. BTW, I'm a father of three. All three are fluent.
