Seeking Advice on Stuttering – 60–70% Improved, Looking for More Help

Seeking Advice on Stuttering – 60–70% Improved, Looking for More Help Hi everyone, I have a stutter, and my dad had one too, but he’s now completely fluent. I think I inherited it from him. I don’t have anxiety in public—I talk to many people—but sometimes I get stuck, or my lips start trembling. I’ve also noticed that with certain people—like friends I want to impress—my stuttering can be a bit stronger. Over the years, I’ve been to 3–4 different speech therapists. I’ve learned techniques like: • Breathing exercises • Easy onset speech • Speaking in front of a mirror • Speaking very slowly and elongating words I’d say I’m about 60–70% cured. I’m wondering if going back to therapy could help me get closer to 100% fluency. Are there exercises, techniques, or approaches I might have missed that could help? A few other things I’ve noticed: • I’m a smoker, and my stammering gets worse when I smoke. If I don’t smoke for a day or two, my speech is much more fluent. • After being intimate with a woman, my stammering increases for a day or two before settling back down. I’d really appreciate any advice, personal experiences, or tips—especially if therapy can offer something more at this stage or if there are exercises I can practice on my own. TL;DR: I have a mild stutter (60–70% improved) inherited from my dad. I’ve tried multiple speech therapies and techniques. Smoking and certain social situations make it worse. Wondering if therapy or new exercises could help me become fully fluent. Thanks in advance!
