Who's one person you can just talk to?

Old stutterer here who got dramatically better. I want all of you to know that you always have someone to talk to or ask questions or just freakin' vent to. Also, I want you to know that it does get better. Always keep hope alive.

You don't accept the stutter, you accept the lifelong struggle to beat it. And I mean lifelong. I'm kind of like you, I've had recent success and it feels great, but I've also had days where I've regr...

Yea, definitely. For me, it helped astronomically because the worst thing someone can do is try to hide the fact that they stutter. I used to think I can but I realize how big of a foolish endeavor th...
