I hear so much pain and depression. I understand it, and have lived it myself. ---We as stutterers are stuck in this vicious cycle. Stuttering embarasses us, so we try to hide it. Trying to hide it only makes the stuttering worse. -- We avoid, substitute, add secondaries, etc.---None of these things work. They may for the moment, but leave us feeling empty anyway. We feel at the complete mercy of this stuttering.----- What about trying something NEW? ---Letting the stuttering out---Sounds so scary, but if yu talk to people who have come to terms with their speech and at peace, they will all tell you that they are quite open with their stuttering.--the funny thing is that most people know that we stutter! We dilute ourselves and toturcher OURSELVES with this GAME. - - -If done in small steps, a better stuttering life can be obtained. --- There is hope. There is a softer, easier way.--Just consider trying something new. the old way isnt working.--love to everyone.

Amey! I COMPLETELY agree with what you said. I self-advertise on the phone all the time. I am now open about my stuttering and I am much happier than I was about 9 months ago.
