Congratulations on improving your speech! My stutter actually went away when I was 10, and it was gone for about a year. I moved to the United States when I was 11 and my stutter returned since then. I am having a difficult time accepting my stutter because I feel that I am doing something wrong if I cannot get it to go away again like before. However I understand that since I’m older now, overcoming my stutter will be more complex than overcoming it as a child. I feel that attending an NSA chapter and accepting my stutter will be viral steps for me.
