I am Fabian Lukong from SCAC and I consider myself as a recovering stutterer as I have read many books collected from the SCAC library which have helped me to be my own speech therapist. What I have found useful and workable for me as a way of controlling my stutter is to talk slowly respecting pauses and also to take a deep breath when I come across a difficult speaking situation. I want some one to explain to me what connecting deep breathing has in controlling stuttering . However, when I am angry, excited or when I have taken alcohol, I find it difficult to follow these techniques. Can somebody suggest some ways to me to remedy this?
