Yup! I did right before my start into university and I can’t describe how big of a weight it lifted off my shoulders. Public speech was literally my ONLY fear holding me back, now I just feel so much ...

As someone who stutters and who's been married for nearly 25 years to a lovely woman, I can only tell you what helped me get many dates, and, eventually, a wife (and three wonderful daughters). ...

I was not able to voluntarily stutter in public due to my poor self esteem. My only solution was to become fluent which is what I chose to do. We all have to choose a path to success. It has been grea...

You can learn to stutter or you can learn how to be fluent. The way I look at is that I already know how to stutter so I think I would like to be fluent. I researched fluent speakers so I could unders...

Yes, in my opinion, it is with absolutely no doubt. Why? Because i only stutter when i am not in the moment (but rather, lost in negative can't-say-this thoughts). Therefore, it's been my ticket to fr...

I totally hear your skepticism! You're absolutely right that **'curing' a stutter isn't something** you can just put a deadline on like a school project. I know that logically. But for me, the **Jan ...

You’re not alone. For me being around stutterers or listening to others stories with their stutters help. But the main thing is don’t be so hard on yourself. I hated my stutter, but then i learned t...

I guess the thing that helped you was when you started taking it seriously and worked on your problems. And also you mentioned that you don't think about your stutter when you speak... That's my goal!...
