Don't let your stutter hold you back, I let my stutter dictate every facet of my life for 35 years. Think about 35 years of isolation. When I turned 40, I told myself "no more, no more will my stutter control me". For the first time in my life, I told myself "I love you. You are awesome ". From that day onward, I lived life courageously. If I stuttered, then oh well, I stopped, took a breath and carried on. I disclose to everyone that I have a stutter because now I am all about awareness and education. I deeply regret not doing this earlier in life because I would have avoided all that suffering and a suicide attempt. Go live your AWESOME life. You are an AMAZING human being and go enjoy life.
