For me it means that I won’t let it stop me from doing things. For many years I was afraid to make phone calls, ask people for help etc. But now I have decided that I won’t let it stop me. I stutter so what, I can’t change it. The people close to me don’t care, and if I stutter when I speak to a stranger I probably won’t see them again so it doesn’t matter. Acceptance for me means; stop being scared of living life. It’s easier said than done but it starts with baby steps.
