Are you on a quest to stop stuttering? Have you a goal to achieve fluency? Do you dream of being able to talk free from the constant fear of stuttering? These are all questions that I most certainly would have answered yes to up until the age of twenty-two. I started to stutter at the age of four and the speech impediment continued to have a damaging affect on my life for the next eighteen years.
Thirteen years ago when I was aged twenty-two I successfully managed to “stop stuttering” after developing a set of techniques to overcome the problem. When formulating these techniques I was learning and studying how the people that I considered to the “best talkers” spoke in comparison to the way that I did. I was more than aware that I had a “faulty speech” and I wanted to work out where the faults were. In the end I was actually quite surpised just how many aspects of my speech were faulty including of course how I was breathing.
This was all thirteen years ago and I am now more than enjoying the fruits of all of that hard work. The freedom of fluency is one that was worth the wait and one that was most certainly worth all of the hard work that I put in.
I am hoping that this article can prove to be of inspiration to other people who have a stutter. You should not accept second best, believe in yourself and believe in a better life for yourself.
