Going pretty well. I've stuttered since I was about 6 or 7, and I'm 30 and still do today. I have a wonderful wife and son and I can't say the stutter has really effected anything drastic in my life. I've been in the military, correctional officer for a little bit, surveillance supervisor at a casino, and now work as a biomedical tech at a big hospital. I also go to school online for computer science. I've also started streaming on twitch again! What I've learned for myself is that we tend to care more about our stutter than other people do. We also tend to care what other people think about it, which REALLY kills the confidence. Once I learned it's okay I stutter, and that I can't control other people's reactions or emotions, life got a lot better.
