Hi Joseph, GOOD to hear from you. Remember, CHANGE happens in small steps. Take every opportunity to talk and even talk about stuttering. Please send me an email at jjjudithe@msn.com and I will send you a copy of the Stuttering Survey. Do this survey with lots of people. As you reduce your shame of stuttering and your need to hide it, the avoidance behaviors will reduce. Set small speaking goals for yourself such as doing many phone calls using the same question for information. Gradually work up to more public speaking. Before you start a presentation, tell people that you stutter. They know anyways ! As I said earlier, talk, talk, talk, etc.
