That's great to hear! Sadly, mine has never gotten better, and with the added stress of unemployment and bills stacking up, my stutter seems to be getting worse. It was much more manageable in college, but now....yikes. It's really great to hear that for many, their stutter diminishes overtime with like you said, repetition. For me though, not so much. I must have given 40 or so presentations all throughout high school and college combined, and they were equally agonizing and painful to get through. My stutter has really never improved, to be perfectly honest. I've tried everything - even very intensive speech therapy, and that only lasted a short duration before I slipped back into my stutter. Such is life, I guess.
