Anybody quit stuttering? How?

Stuttering cannot be "cured" but you can learn to control it and become more fluent. My uncles and cousins worked through the book "Self Therapy for the Stutterer" and one uncle went to a specialist in stuttering while he worked through the book. All of them improved to the point that they said they had "overcome" their stuttering. It takes determination and practice. That book and "Advice to Those who Stutter" are published by The Stuttering Foundation of America and can be purchased in their estore. Many public libraries also have them. It is not a book to just be read, though. You have to work through it one step at a time. You might also get some tips from other stutterers by joiniing this new page http://groups.myspace.com/stutteringfoundation

RE:

I've always stuttered and tried speech therapists and a Speech Easy device but nothing helps. Anybody out there ever been cured of stuttering?

Some people apparently do stop stuttering, usually after a whole lot of speech therapy. Some stutter a lot all their lives, though. Most fall somewhere in between. That is, their stuttering diminishes, but it's still there. It just isn't very important any more. Most of the time people don't pay any attention to it.

The best way to make stuttering diminish is to be open and honest about it, and eventually to learn not to care whether you stutter or not. That can be very difficult to do but it's worth making the effort to learn how. The people whose stuttering stops (or gets so mild that nobody notices) are often the people who can grin and say, "Sure I stutter, but it doesn't matter!" Instead of worrying about stuttering and trying to hide it, they learn to communicate very well. They say what they want to say, when they want to say it, and they don't let anyone stop them.

A reason for stuttering could be because you are speaking too fast. Maybe try speaking slower and clearer when talking to friends, or even to yourself in front of a mirror. Speaking in front of yourself can help you see what your doing wrong. Hope you'll be cured soon enough!

I knew a person who tried talking while biting a pencil. Another said that he put some little insect under his tongue to teach his tongue to move properly.

get ur self-confidence up! try talking to a mirror....read books out loud...do this everyday...and u should be to ur normal self again...
