Technique not drugs! Do you know, it really frustrates me to hear people talking on hear about taking drugs to help with their stammer. I'm not a puritan, I enjoy a beer like lots of people, but it makes me sad to see people promoting drugs to help with stammering. I can only imagine the potential damage done by drugs whilst chasing something that is widely considered to be unobtainable - a cure from stammering. I have joined the thousands of people around the world who use an approach based around costal or diaphragmatic breathing. There are lots of courses and support for this technique worldwide. For me, I have chosen a charity called [Empowering Voices](https://www.empoweringvoices.co.uk/bath-course) in the UK. It helps me to talk calmly and with control, and without fear. Sure I occasionally trip over my words, my stammer still lurks in the dark resecceses of my mind, but it is controlled rather than controlling. Please stop promoting drugs and let's help those that want help to find it in techniques rather than chemicals.
