I used to be really embarrassed of my stutter and when a drank I would 'blame it on the alcohol' hehe. But then it became a problem because I thought I was socially awkward and later developed into an addiction. After I graduated from college a few months ago and I had to quit drinking. I really don't intend to sound dogmatic just wanted to share the advice that alcohol does give that instant kick of confidence with speech especially, but fuck what other people think.
