just been laughed at most of the time I'm okay with my stammer. people who dont like it fuck em but when every single person u meet is a miserable piece of shit and dont want anything to do with u because u struggle to speak it cant not get to u. woke up in a great mood as I'm getting on with my day I gather the confidence to approach a group if three people asking for a lighter and all three snigger and laugh at me as they hand me a lighter. trying not to let it get to me but cant stop thinking about it. I'm 5 days sober and I feel like my lifes getting back on track but i just wanna drink or anything right now this is awful.
