Stuttering makes life tough, that's for sure, but I've yet to find something that stuttering makes it impossible to do. Years ago I was a similar mindset to what you've expressed and I would have done anything to be stutter-free. The constant anxiety and self-doubt, man, I wouldn't wish that on anyone. As someone who got through it, I can say confidently that my defeatist attitude wasn't helpful at all - how well is yours serving you? I found that small successes bred small successes and all successes need to be celebrated. You can stream, you can have kids, friends and a positive outlook on life. You can have it all - it will be work, there will be times of embarrassment, but it's worth it in the end.
