I don't bother with it, I'm too lazy. It's funny, I would almost do anything to stop stuttering, but I'm too lazy to apply any sort of speaking techniques. Medications and supplements tho, in that fi...

I consider stuttering a curse. This is why I spent years learning how to become fluent. I eventually got rid of my curse. The curse effected every aspect of my life. My life finally became more normal...
