Hello B Tycer, Thanks for reading my article and for your kind words. Self esteem and confidence are really the keys to living a successful life. I've done my fair share of suffering too, but it matters what you do with your life, not what went on in your past. ..... Lee Reeves, my primary mentor, says, "You do not have to be a victim of stuttering. Stuttering is complex and sometimes we can feel victimized by its affects. However, it is important to realize that you have the power to survive.. Choose to become a survivor." I hope I'm a survivor! <smile> His paper on this exact topic - called "Lessons learned" is available on this ISAD conference too. It's on http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad10/papers/messages10/reeves10.html and it's well worth reading. ..... I wish you the best! ...... Russ
