Hi, It took me a looooong time. I really turned my speech around at about age 50 ! That's when I really focused on whipping the avoidance behaviors, advertising that I stuttered, and using voluntary stuttering. From there, I moved into public speaking by joining Toastmasters and doing workshops/presentations. I had gone through a very disfluent time (possibly medically related) and had dug a big hole for myself. The only way out was to go up and up started with elimination of avoidance behaviors, advertising, and stuttering on purpose. At first, I really struggled with public speaking but that has gotten better and better over time.
