It was amazing that when I commented to someone that we stuttered, they gave a puzzled look and apparently didn't realize that we stuttered. It's so great when someone can be so used to you that they don't notice stuff like that. I've been able to survive the last five years through steady support from friends. Sometimes just being able to talk to someone directly is great for letting out things that were bottled up, while just spending time with friends. And having mindless fun is best as you feel comfortable and relaxed.
Friends are amazingly helpful.
Stuttering has always been the axis of my life, and without it I have no clue what I would be like. I love the thrill of talking to someone because it's yet another victory for me because I can overcome this thing, and accepting it is my ongoing goal.
