Need some tips for living alone with a severe stutter.

Need some tips for living alone with a severe stutter. English is not my first language so please ignore any mistakes. This question is targeted towards very severe stutterers like myself. I accepted a job offer that requires me to move to another country alone. I initially had a friend that joined with me as well but he found a better offer so now I have to settle there alone. I've never lived alone so far and my stutter is so bad that it takes me 30+ second on each word and i stutter on every other word, more so with strangers. I'm looking into learning ASL but that won't be much help as well as I'd be alone there. How has your experience living alone been so far. What tips can you guys share in this matter.
