How I Achieved A "Worry-Free" Stutter & A Great Physique

How I Achieved A "Worry-Free" Stutter & A Great Physique To preface this - I am 18 currently and I have been suffering because of my stutter since I was 5 years old. 2 years ago I reached my boiling point & put myself on a strict regime of improvement. It took me 2 years to eliminate almost all my fears of speaking. I am now the most confident & social person I have ever been. I can present in front of a crowd & read publicly better than most people I know. (I am also in the best physique of my life.) BUT I still stutter mildly. Just it doesn't impact my conversations at all. I think all of the people in this subreddit should aim for that goal, as well. **Here is what I did**: **1.** **Admit I am done with waiting for the stutter to go away**. Done with suffering with no end in sight. I finally talked to my parent about my problem, explained the extent to which I was in pain & asked to go to speech therapy. 2. **Took speech therapy seriously** \- I did my exercises everyday, for an hour. Added reading aloud to my stack of exercises. I also always had something to talk about with my therapist. A problem I had at school for example. I hid nothing. The first time I cried, because of the trauma of discussing my stutter, this monster of a problem, so openly with a complete stranger. After a while, I got numb to this pain. 3. Started training a few months before starting speech therapy. **Took the gym seriously, as well**. **The improvement to my physique directly related to improvements in my stutter.** For proof, see my channel below. 4. **PRACTICED,PRACTICED,PRACTICED.** I would read aloud at home 5 pages of a book per day & would do mock presentations before each real-life presentation. At first, even with all of this preparation, I still failed. With time it got better, I had a few perfect presentations here and there. Now I don't really care, I am fluent & I don't practice anymore. I haven't regressed any progress, stutter hasn't returned. 5. **Started a Youtube Channel**. I now help people stuck in the same exact position, where I had been stuck. Locked in the imaginary prison of anxiety due to their stutter. Creating videos teaching these principles helped me solidify my understanding of what I did & also brings me much joy to see other people having success with their stutter.
