Thanks. It's always helpful to hear I'm not the only one. I drink Yerba Mate tea to get through my mornings. Caffeine might not be the best thing for us stutterers but it wakes me up. Like many stutte...

Like everyone else says, this too will pass. I find when I get more sleep I stutter less, when I am more confident I stutter less and when I am relaxed I stutter less. Try to see if you have a problem...
