OK so you have a stammer. OK I understand the pain and frustration it causes you. How do I understand? Well because I had a stammer myself for eighteen years – that’s how. The point here is the fact that we have to keep fighting – we have to keep believing. Granted – it is far from easy to overcome a stammer, it also takes quite a long time and there is no quick fix. But surely all of the hard work and the time that it takes will be worth it, to achieve total fluency, won’t it?

Just imagine what it would be like to be able to speak free from the fear of stuttering. No longer would you have to accept second best; you could now do exactly what you wanted to do. As an example there were times during the period when I had a stammer when I would order one thing when in reality I wanted something else. So why did I not just order what I wanted? Well because I did not believe I would have been able to order it without stammering.

My own stammering stopped me from achieving so many things. At the age of 21 the girlfriend that I had been dating for the previous three years started to bring up the subject of marriage. Now I have to admit that I would have loved to have married her; I would have been proud to have been her husband. I just could never have gone through with it at the time; having to do a speech in front of my whole family and my friends; there was just no way. I spoke with my girlfriend about it; I was quite honest with her and she said that she understood but let’s just say that the relationship did not last too much longer.

Aged twenty-two I could not bare having to miss out like this any longer. It had ruined my life for long enough – the stutter was my worst enemy and an enemy that I was determined to destroy. I therefore waged a war on the stuttering demons within my head; a war which was to have many battles but it was a war which after eleven months I won.

Fluency is better than you will imagine – put the effort in – put the time in and you never know, you might just get there. One thing is for sure you will get know-where and you will continue to stutter if you just keep sitting on your backside.
