How To Overcome A Studdering Problem

Many a time have I been standing at a bar unable to order a drink, I did however have a number of tricks such as pointing to a lager pump or by holding up three fingers to avoid having to speak the number three for example.

I also had a trick where I would avoid certain words and I would attempt to replace my hard words with one that I had more confidence in saying. These tricks did help me but I always knew that I was just accepting second best. Many people including national assocations told me that there was not a cure to stammering/stuttering but I just could not believe this as I knew that when I was drunk, I was as fluent as the next man.

I then decided to start my search for a stuttering cure. In my opinion quite a lot of it is in the mind, I had voices in my head which would tell me that I was going to stutter, I had to find a way to kill these demons. I did this eventually by reading a lot of confidence type books and by learning what it takes to be a success. People like Richard Branson and Alan Sugar have not got where they are by luck, there is something about the way they think and live. I needed to find what that something was.

I also knew that stuttering is also a physical problem, I had to learn and understand what I was doing physically wrong and of course then put it right. I did this by studying how fluent people spoke compared to the way that I did.

After nearly a year I managed to eradicate the stammer/stutter from my speech and I now help other people to do the same.
