Hello Jim. I strongly agree with your approach of "Just do it". It's certainly not easy, and we have to get to a stage where we have a certain level of acceptance of our stuttering. However, avoiding the phone just makes the fear of it even greater. My experience has shown that not being afraid of the person on the other side helps me tremendously. I adopted an attitude of "who are you to make me afraid? By what right?" Someone asked about email and texting: Again, from my experience, using those instead of the phone just increases our fear. Thanks for the paper. Hanan
