Yeah been to a few and will keep going. I have yet met anyone who isn't glad they want. For many people, their first conference is pretty eye opening. I really don't like to hype stuff and I am reserved by nature, but I really do think the NSA is the best resource that a person who stutters can get. You gotta go, at least once. It's always around the 4th of july. Growing some balls will get you to take that ever difficult first step, but understanding that stuttering won't change you or her or the world and starting to accept all parts of yourself is where i think the comfort comes from. It's also about practice. Have fun with it man. not many of us get a chance to do terrifying things on a daily/weekly basis. It won't be boring thats for sure!
