40 seems so far awayto always be stuttering. how do you older men cope with itall

[Standingtall]

For me anyway, my stutter in not one of my highest priopority, maybe in the low's top 10. My break through, life is too short and I am wasting my time worry, moping around, feeling sorry for myself, etc..

I have to start thinking about getting that sports car.

[Host of Chaos]

HoC, speaking for myself, when I was younger my stutter was on my mind every waking moment and a few dreams. Enjoy being young, I know I am still enjoying mine, now only to get those females back to goof around here. Where is PowerOfThree, BigNick and AGROFCR when you need them.:D

You already when through one major physical change already. You make some pretty good points, but don't forget a lot of people do get caught up in keeping up with the 'Jones'. Your young, enjoy it as long as you can, and in time you will fully understand the wise words of AGOFCR. Don't forget them.

For a guy that is pretty shy, I am starting to get a mental picture of you. Good to see your starting to come out.

When I was but a youth I never thought about my stutter.
In retrospect I can see where I unknowingly changed my behaviors, wants and supposed needs to avoid facing what my stutter was doing to me.
As long as I was in school with friends abound, life was good and I rarely thought about my stuttering.

My adult life has been filled with illness after illness and I went through a very rough decade or so until I was finally diagnosed with celiac disease in January ’04. Since then, I’ve been the healthiest I can remember being since grade school. 5 years ago I thought I’d be dead by now so why deal with or worry about my stutter?

Throughout the last 2 years as I’ve healed and regained my health I steadily became more and more aware of the prison I built for myself and only in the last few weeks have I introduced myself to the prison’s warden, my attitude towards my stutter and how I have allowed it to control me and suppress who I am.

My advice for you is stay in school (hehehe) and NEVER PUT YOUR LIFE ON HOLD!!
The problem with doing nothing is that you never know when you are done.

Hey my friend, take your time. As you go along thru life, you will learn new things and then it is going to hit you. So, that is what AGOFCR was talking about. I know it has happen to me many times. Scary thought, if I was able to jump ahead 20 years and boom, I see my grave stone. Sounds like an Stephen King's novel.
