Congratulations. My stutter also built me, it's the reason why I thought that I was an introvert and a nerd, it led me to be so interested in computers and technology. It was only until recently did I...

Klonopin. Klonopin gave me confidence, although a false sense of it, still confidence. It showed me what I could be if I accepted my stutter, and just began expressing myself. I watched all of these t...
