Wow 63.  Never been a better time to branch out. I don't have a stutter problem.  I may still mildly stutter in certain situations, but it's no longer a reason or an excuse to avoid that situation. ...

I’ve found the less I care about whether I stutter or not the less I stutter. I lot of what contributes to stuttering is the fear and anxiety of speaking situations. It’s like a cruel trick we play on...
