Thanks for the good advice and support, yeah it's the embrassment thing that gets me, whats going to make it worse is having someone with me the first few days, it's just added pressure, once I'm on my own i'll find my own way of saying what I'm there for, creating my own speech short cuts,. I'm pleased you got over your stutter, must of took some work and effort.. I'm 63 and had this all my life..
