I know the feelling well as I did the same thing for many years. From my mid-teens I noticed how alcohol and other substances improved my speech. Unfortunately, there is a number of addiction problems...

When I first started drinking somewhat regularly as a teen, my speech got better, but now as an adult, it's kinda back and forth. Some days I'm good while drinking, others not. Like all of my stutteri...

I'm 19 and whenever I drink alcohol my stutter goes away to but I I recently stopped drinking because it became a everyday thing. ...

The dark side of stuttering that no one talks about.

The dark side of stuttering that no one talks about. Self medicating to get rid of it. I'm not sure if there are others out there, probably is but I turned into an alcoholic/drug addict for many year...

Being high on weed honestly made it super worse for me. Maybe like x2. But the nice thing was that I didn't give a shit....

yes I have tried it and it has gone to the point where my friends noticed it ? We were at the beach doing it and I was just talking and talking , relaxed and high and my friend says," dude you're not...

I drank some kava root tea a couple of years ago and it seemed to help for a bit. But I agree with others that if you haven't gone with speech therapy, give it a shot. Helped the most....

I feel like for the most part I stutter more when I'm high, with some strains I've noticed I block up more than with others but I haven't really payed too close attention to which specific ones are ha...

Any form of intoxication alleviates stuttering. Stutterers experience temporary fluency because of lowered inhibitions. But these moments are ephemeral. Caution is advised as it may become an addictio...

Wow really did not expect such an in-depth answer and can promise you it means it a lot that random people take the time out of their day to formulate such a response. I do not think I need a medical...

Hi. I have not dealt with a similar situation myself, neither with alcohol nor stuttering. But I'm going to answer you anyway. (I do not have a stutter, as I said, but I know an odd amount for a la...

Looking for advice

Looking for advice I use alcohol to combat my stutter, it allows me to speak at around 80 percent fluency which while not perfect is enough for me to freely express my thoughts and feelings.When I fir...

Yes, I agree. As someone who has had truly horrific experiences with *prescribed* drugs and knows I cannot come near even pot, I especially agree. Even "just" weed should not be taken lightly: Yes. ...

Perhaps i should complement my remark by saying to avoid using *non-prescribed* drugs without guidance from a health professional (assuming this i also the case with Tourette's and CP). I'm all for s...

> Can generally recommend to avoid using alcohol/drugs for fluency, as it can result in (extremely) destructive situations. Weed is for having a fun time every now and then, not for dealing with li...

I smoke everyday, at least three to four times a day. For me, my fluency isn' t necessarily affected by being high, but rather the effects of the smoke on my vocal mechanisms. I usually smoke out of t...

It's common knowledge that doing weed amplifies the state of mind you were in already. If you're having a bad day and not feeling too great, doing weed can make it much worse - and vice versa with fee...

Have you tried weed? Does it affect your stutter?

Have you tried weed? Does it affect your stutter? As the title says, have you ever tried weed? Did the weed affect your stutter in any way? I've smoked before but I don't do it anymore simply becaus...

As someone who has used drugs for over a decade, trust me and slow down brother. Don't let it take a tragedy for you to see that it's not sustainable to go that route. You can safely use most drugs fo...

Yeah it's definitely way worse than it was when I was 16. Also the more I read about it, the more symptoms I relate to. And I mean frequent as in any time I can get my hands on something to get me hig...
