>After completing an intensive speech therapy course I stutter alot less or even become fluent. Sadly I can never keep it up and a relapse is always inevitable. That's a real bummer, i hope that the fluency sticks someday. >It can just get tiresome to always have the feeling that you are playing life on hardmode. That always motivated me to stay strong. Only whimps (and posers) play life in easymode. Like i stated in the OP, i'm from germany. If you go to Wacken someday, please contact me if you need some people to hang out with.
