Good post, thanks for sharing. I'm in my mid 30s and still have a bit of a stutter. I haven't "kicked it" by any means, as it's still something I have to actively work on and I still have occasional blocks, but my fluency is the best it's ever been. I attribute my improvement over the years to two things: actively applying my speech techniques and stress/anxiety management. For the mechanical parts I use the strategies outlined in [Self-Therapy For the Stutterer](https://www.stutteringhelp.org/Portals/English/Book_0012_tenth_ed.pdf) which echo what I learned in formal speech therapy from when I was a kid. It may seem pretty basic, but the key points are to slow down, take a breath, think about what I want to say. Like most stutters, I realized my fluency was directly correlated with my anxiety/stress. When I was under more stress or more anxious my speech got worse, which often made me more stressed out and anxious. Management of stress and anxiety is a huge topic on its own, but I find that regular mediation helps me quite a bit along with daily doses of L-Theanine and CBD oil.
