Congratulations on overcoming and beating your stutter. I have no idea how one goes about doing that. Stuttering is a physical (neurological) problem that seldom gets better. In fact for many of us it just stays bad bad bad. In my case, I am a severe stutterer. I had many years of stuttering therapy that was useless and harmful. Luckily I was introduced to a stuttering prosthetic that helped greatly. Later on I was also introduced to costal breathing techniques which also helped greatly. I am an Attorney/Professor and because of these items I was able to fully practice law and to teach at a major academic institution. However without these items my stuttering is as severe as ever. I did not overcome and beat my stutter, but i did overcome and beat the negative aspects of stuttering.
