Changing stuttering habits takes time, dedication, effort and a lot of other traits. It means coming out of one's comfort zone and making a complete change of lifestyle. We're all on our own journeys...

Mine has gotten better as I've aged, I would definitely say that now it is mild. However, I honestly, truly believe that a lot of that is because on two reasons: 1) I am surrounded by family, friends...

This more than anything. I mean we're all most likely never going to be fluent the same way as non stutterers. So why concentrate on it? This is an extreme example but people who are blind don't conce...

I don't think it's about fluency. It's more about the psychological side of stuttering. Acceptance, finding the cause, understanding yourself, etc. These all help to be able to come to terms with the ...

MDMA, lsd, shrooms, dmt are all spiritual and help you grow in so many ways. They are not dangerous, only if you use the too much. I think you should defiently try MDMA, you realise that your stutteri...

Glad you found this helpful :). J.C.Harrison's "Redefining Stuttering" was an eye opener for me, it suggested the whole new perspective to look at stuttering. If you haven't read it and are interested...

I think about that from time to time too, but the trick is to find someone who embraces your stutter! In meeting new people, if they cringe or laugh at the way you talk, it's a pretty big red flag tha...

Stop caring about what others think. Everyone tells you that and it is true, but also damn hard. We've all been through this same stuff and at the moment you start caring less, it will get better. It ...

You're certainly not a mess, even though I understand you may feel that at times - I think most of us do, and unjustly. We're so hard on ourselves as stutterers, we don't give ourselves credit for the...
