Hang in there dude, life is worth living. I went to Hollins Communications Research Institute (HCRI) in Virginia a few years ago and it really helped me. I went from being afraid of the phone, public speaking, all of that to a serial dater who run through chicks like it was my job, casting aside the laughers and callous ladies. I was a police officer, paramedic, cpr instructor, and all while still maintaining a mild stutter, which was once an awful stutter. My daughter stutters, so it begins again. Hang in there dude, we are here for you. PM any of us, we aren’t truly strangers.
