Taming the beast Hi everyone, I just came here to write something. I'm 25 y/o and since many years ago I have my stutter under control 95% of the time through a combination of crutches, fillers and word substitution, self-steem and emotion control. I can manage well and mask it, or that's what I thought... A couple days ago I had to read a letter out loud at work and suddenly all my confidence dropped, I knew it wouldn't go smoothly so I ended asking a coworker to read it, althought they know of my stutter I still felt so defenseless. I wanted to control the beast but it still wants to get free. I need to learn to accept it but its hard to rewire something that has been drilled into my brain "stutter is less" Cheers all For this new year I wish to make peace with mt stutter
