I stuttered a little bit when I was about 5, but it went away. Then I started stuttering pretty bad when I was 11. You know what I think caused it? The September 11th attacks. At the beginning of September that year, I was completely fluent. By mid October, I could hardly tell people what I was going to be for Halloween (I was Aragorn from LOTR). Something about the tension during that time triggered it. A couple times that September my parents were trying to comfort me about the 911 attacks and I remember getting really choked up and having a hard time getting my words out. Was there anything out of the ordinary going on in your life when you woke up stuttering?
