There is no cure for stuttering. Stutterers will always be stutterers. People can sometimes reduce stuttering by eliminating unnecessary anxiety and learning to stutter more efficiently, which makes blocks less severe and conspicuous. But if you're looking to cure your stutter, then stop. It's unrealistic and you're setting yourself up for failure. The first step to reducing your stutter is learning to be okay with stuttering, as a fear or anxiety of stuttering is a huge contributing factor to the severity of one. The second step is practice, practice, practice--talk literally all the time, stutter through it, analyze your blocks while working through them, and you'll see improvement. But mostly, its just that first step.
