Well, I have stuttered all my life ( I'm 24) but lately I have learned that embracing and accepting my stutter is really the only way it would let go of me. I guess, when we accept it and proudly embr...

I haven't read it, but I'm always interested by people who have their stutter become their life (even for a while). I suppose it's similar to someone with a sick relative or a rare disease who then be...

Pro: Since my stutter is rather minor it makes me thankful it's not severe. Beyond that, I can't fully explain it, but I think I'm a nicer person today because of it. I think I would have turned out...

thanks. Having a stutter does not matter in life, if you don't let it define who you are. That's why I was angry - because I have now built into me that I'm a capable person and that stuttering is not...

One liners for removing the stutter-taboo. Often when i meet new people someon plops out something like "You cold or something?" And i mention i always stutter. 90% I can feel the other person think "...

Personally, I think if someone picks it up and questions you on it, you feel less obliged to try and 'hide' it, so you are in fact more relaxed. That could just be my own personal experience though....

No offense, but I would rather not put where I worked at on here, for privacy reasons. I will say that it was east coast. Anyway, I was nervous as shit when my first lesson came up, but honestly I h...

Okay, I think it's time to try and push this a little bit.

Okay, I think it's time to try and push this a little bit. I've been a moderate stammer right from the beginning. As a child it didn't affect me very much, but as soon as I got into the teenage years ...
