I still do. Crazy to reread my comment from 6 years ago because a lot has happened since then and my stutter has improved. I haven't drank alcohol or done coke in almost 2 years and my marijuana usage has gone down a lil bit and since I stopped being so stressed I can talk a lot easier but now if I do get stressed or something happens that heightens my senses my stutter will be worse than before lol but that rarely happens anymore. I dont get as mad or emotional in general as often and most days I can speak fine. When im work even though it might take a bit to get the word out i don't sound like a broken down car tryna start anymore. The biggest thing that helped me was to just stop being so damn stressed. I cant control everything or anything and I shouldnt even try. Just go with the flow, do good deeds be a good person and everything will come naturally but yeah shit happens. It sucks but you gotta keep truckin
