Tim, Acceptance is an interesting concept. For many years I was somewhat accepting of the fact that I stuttered. How could I not accept it... It happened every day. A change occurred however, when I was able to objectify stuttering as part of my physiological and psychological makeup and then accept whatever progress I was making at the time as just that "progress". Progress may have meant less stuttering on one day and less avoidance on another. Accepting these small steps as making a positive move along my own personal journey, and not focusing on the fact I was still stuttering, allowed me to see I was moving forward. This also allowed me to deal with the few steps backward that occurred. A journey is often 3 steps forward, one step back. Are you able to acknowledge the gains you are making and accept the little steps backwards as you travel on your own journey? BTW... thanks for posting your question. I'm enjoying the thread.
