Finding opportunities to disclose the stutter

Finding opportunities to disclose the stutter Hello again everybody! This is my 2nd post on this reddit and I just want to say that it really is great to have a place where all of us can discuss our struggles, successes and offer advice. So I was hoping to get some advice on a particular issue. I recently attended my frst NSA meeting and let me say that was an eye opener and offered a window as to who I could be if I keep coming to these meetings and putting myself out there in the world. Of course nothing will happen over night. I know this much now but I'm trying to put myself out there but I still feel the need to hold back. So here's the dilemma: The one clear message I got from the NSA meeting was to openly self-disclose your stutter. I am really trying to do this but just having such a hard time getting the courage to do it. I know I have several opportunities to do so. For instance: I go to a local card shop every week to playing Magic the Gathering. I am not the best player but I still enjoy it all the same. The other people who show up at the shop to play are very nice as well. Now I have not been back to the shop due to an incident I had. In all the times I did go to the shop to play cards, I always hid the stutter to the point where nobody could tell. You can only hide for so long though as one night playing a game, I got really stuck on my name. It was such a long and awkward block. Eventually I said it and to my surprise, everybody there seemed to be cool with it. However, I still felt the shame that the block even happened. I felt like it shouldn't have happened. Ever since that incident, I have not been back to the shop. Of course this was way before my NSA meeting. After the meeting, my perspective has changed a bit. I am trying to be more open, trying to take more chances but how? How do I find the moments to just walk up to somebody and say "Hey, I have a stutter. No big deal. Let's play some cards and may the best man win." I'm just wondering if there is a certain time I can do this. Like before the game even starts and everybody is sitting at the table, is that a good time? Or do I wait after the game? (the game's are timed btw). Or forget the game scenario. Just in general, how I do disclose the stutter, when do I do it? Ahhh...why can't this be easy.
