Stutter can vary from one moment to the next, I find. Over time, tendencies can appear and be either short or long. It's fickle! ;) You mention "techniques". What's that about?...

As much as I try to educate them about it, it seems to go straight over their head. Especially my dad, I think he just thinks it's when I'm nervous and there's no harm in using techniques. And that's...

I've tried attributing my increased stutter around my patents to an increased comfort level, but I'm pretty close to fluent with some of my best friends. I'd be really curious to see if anyone has a s...

I don't. My stutter tends to vary more with situation and subject. But that's one of those things that we have to recognize about stuttering: It's hugely varying, and we don't really know how that wo...

Yes, I agree. As someone who has had truly horrific experiences with *prescribed* drugs and knows I cannot come near even pot, I especially agree. Even "just" weed should not be taken lightly: Yes. ...

> Can generally recommend to avoid using alcohol/drugs for fluency, as it can result in (extremely) destructive situations. Weed is for having a fun time every now and then, not for dealing with li...

It's common knowledge that doing weed amplifies the state of mind you were in already. If you're having a bad day and not feeling too great, doing weed can make it much worse - and vice versa with fee...

No idea. How stuttering fluctuates is very interesting. Sometimes I'll even fluctuate during the same day. Over a longer period of time, the sounds that give me trouble tend to change as well....

It wasn't just the test I was talking about. Personally I have always believed this to be the case. My stutter changes incredibly with things that alter brain chemistry, such as alcohol, weed, lack of...

I have been stuttering from last 26 years. But until recently my daughter started to stutter and I was devastated. I took my stutter very seriously and did a thorough study on the topic for 4 moths. T...

The Best way is to Find why you are getting blocked. Why your stutter varies so much ?? Why it's not stable or consistent ?? I have been stuttering from last 26 years. But until recently my daughter s...

The only pattern I've noticed with myself is that if 1) sleep well 2) eat well 3) am not very anxious or stressed - I have better days. As a woman, hormones throw me off. I am shakier and less fluent ...
