Content

i spent ~2 decades trying to find tricks, methods, drinking alcohol or caffeine, assigning or attributing blame, etc, etc, on what to do or how to handle a stutter. All with varying degrees of success, and ultimately falling apart. Then i just kind of stopped caring and accepted that i’ll always have it. Then it oddly started to clear up. It’s still there, for sure, its not leaving. But don’t give it more power than it already has and don’t let it define where you are going.
