i never use to answer my house phone cos i couldnt say "hello". that was about 5 years ago. one day, there was a call, no one in the house, took the risk of answering the phone, i said "hello" without a problem. felt good about this, the next time i was able to do it again. five years on am still able to do it without stuttering. i then realised that i need to face all my stammering fears. presenations, arguing, making telephone enquiries, introduction to class, answering question, job interviews. for some reason chatting up girls is no problem, i dono how but its good for me. i believe going thru my worst fears has made me more confident thus improving my fluency, going thru worst fears was not easy, so has your bad stuttering experiences made you fluent? am currently working on job interviews, last interview was good, group interveiw. 4 of us, think i came second when it came to speaking out loud, good improvement compared to my previous

I agree with you. I started to get the ball rolling and sure I had a few set backs, but I still kept the ball rolling. Nobody was getting hurt and my confidence was growing by leaps and bounds.
