I would suggest practicing a lot. Something that helped me was putting periods on my notes so I knew a firm spot to take a breath and not trip over my words. If you want you can also mention your stu...

You can’t get rid of your stutter. Yeah, I know, it sucks, we all wish we /could/ speak fluently, but that’s why we’re all on r/stutter, isn’t it?? Your speech impediment needs to be something you can...

Ya GOTTA make jokes about it. Your speech impediment needs to be something you can laugh at (instead of something you’re ashamed of and/or trying to hide). I learned to /own/ my stutter by introducin...

I believe one can get rid of stutter completely since it's more mental than anything else. I go through phases where I stutter very less sometimes and on other times my stutter is pretty bad. This...
