Great post, man. Completely agree. It always baffles me when stutterers are asking about taking this drug or that, anti-anxiety meds or even illegal substances, and yet if you ask them, they're not even currently engaged in a regular speech exercise regimen! So let me get this straight, you're willing to put all these substances into your body in hopes it will make you magically fluent, but you're unwilling to put the time in to practice safely? You know what this sounds like? Laziness. **There is no cure for stuttering.** This is an objective fact. There are only ways of maintaining your peak fluency. And absolutely none of those ways are going to be so easy as swallowing a pill. It takes work, and not even a lot of it. You have to accept that stuttering is a natural part of your own speech, and that other people are going to sometimes hear you stutter. As someone who's older now (33), I can say with complete sincerity that I'd rather face a lifetime of people hearing me stutter than face a lifetime of limited expression. My mom had a laryngectomy about 6 years before she died of a brain tumor. They removed her voicebox and she was mute. She would have given anything to just have a stutter instead. This isn't me saying 'other people have it worse, how dare you not appreciate what you have', but you know, perspective is valuable. You *have a voice*. It's not the best voice, not the smoothest or most reliable, but it is YOUR voice. Accept it, own it, use it.
