Stuttering Expert
It is not fair, why do I have this horrible stutter? What did I do to deserve this? I clearly remember asking my mother these questions when I
was a teenager.
I could not comprehend why I was having to live life with this most frustrating speech impediment, it did not seem fair. What added to the
frustration was the fact that there were no experts in stuttering, experts who could help me to eradicate the stutter. It was left to me to find
my own solution to this stuttering nightmare.
Virtually all, if not all, people who stutter have voices, or what I call demons, in their head. These voices tell you that you are going to
stutter on the next word, or in five words time or on the next sentence.
They like to advise you in certain situations, for example, I would not go out tonight Steve as you are more than likely going to stutter.
These demons can take over our whole life; they affect our confidence and make us worry and stress over every day tasks.
Some people who believe in God think that these demons are in fact Satan or the devil himself. It is not just people who stutter that hear these
voices, people who are attempting to lose weight will hear a voice tempting them to eat food such as chocolate, people who are attempting to quit
smoking will hear a voice in their head tempting them to smoke just one last cigarette.
I strongly believed that I would be able to speak fluently if I could find a way of removing the demon voices from my head. This took a huge
amount of strength, will power and determination to achieve, but achieve I did and twelve years later I am still speaking free from the fear of
stuttering.
