Great article, great writing. I'm pretty torn about stuttering. On the one hand I can rationally see the value of acceptance. Of not ploughing so much energy into something that many believe has a neurological basis that can't be remedied. But, on the other hand, I can't get over the hurdle of feeling that this is a defeatist attitude. Maybe I've read too many success stories and become too enamoured by smooth talkers to give up the search for a fix, however absurd and futile it may be. And I'm not talking about a pill, like B1 or pagoclone, but something deeper. I don't know, maybe I have self-esteem issues that don't allow me to accept this. Maybe when I'm 50. Can anyone who comes here regularly claim to have accepted it?
