Sorry, i would've replied to you last night but I wanted to wait until I was on a computer. But man.. where do I begin? Well, some days I feel like a brand new man with all the confidence in the world, and other days I feel like I can't say "thank you" without sounding like a blubbering idiot. I grew up remembering going to speech therapy multiple times a week after school.. nothing ever helped. In elementary, I got into a fight cause someone called me "stutterbox" In high school, we had to read sections of a book out loud and it was the WORST. I struggled to get through a paragraph and I literally cried every time. I dont know if my English teacher hated me, but I just prayed she'd skip me instead of asking me to read. I was too nervous to ask her to skip me because I wouldn't be able to get the words out. It was wayyyy worse than the Waterboy. When I turned 17, I got a job working rides at Six Flags because I liked rollercoasters. I was doing a good job and my supervisor promoted me to work the main panel. Cool, right? Fuck no, because now I have to talk on the damn microphone to 15,000 people coming through my line every fucking day. But that actually helped me learn to control my stutter better.. I received so many compliments on how my voice was perfect for that job (my voice is deep as hell) and those guests have NO idea what that meant to me. I'm 33 now and I still think about this one nice gentleman who gave me the nicest compliments. I don't know where I'm getting at, but my stutter was SHIT. Now, I can somewhat control it and not embarrass myself too much. I use cadences and slow down my speaking, etc etc but I stutter a lot bro.. don't let anything stop you from achieving your goals. I was a fucking TRAINER for a couple of years. Talking NONSTOP!! You'll get there
