Are you me? In all seriousness, thanks for sharing your thoughts, OP! I am a teacher, and I have been stuttering since I was 6. Considering this, I hope that others understand that it's OK to stutter even as an adult and that you can control it. Our anxiety is not above us! OP's advice is practical and has helped me on several occasions! If I had a Gold Award, I'd give it you, OP. :)
