As long as I can remember, my stuttering has been a part of me. In my youth, I stuttered severely. I had trouble with a single word let alone a full sentence.

In grade school students looked at me different. My social life was nonexistent. When I entered 5th grade I was told that I had a learning disability and had to move to different school. I thought how could my life be any worse!

I went to this new school and not knowing anyone, my self esteem hit rock bottom. It couldn't get any lower. I met this kid my age his name was Doug. Doug and I became friends. To this day we remain friends.

High school got better, my self esteem was not as bad as grade school, but I found that my stuttering was not as bad. Still my stutter prevented me on doing alot of social activities.

When I was 17 years of age, a junior I read about a stuttering support group called the National Stuttering Association (NSA) Madison Chapter. In the article it gave their phone number. I called and talked to the guy who was the leader of the chapter. He told me that there were roughly 20 people that showed up at these weekly meetings. He told me that they were beneficial. So I decided on going to one. Boy did it open my eyes! For the first time in my life I met people who stutter. They ranged from the severe to mild and all in between.

We talked about the trails and challenges we face everyday with our stuttering. It was very informative meeting. I left the meeting very impressed. It encourged me to start up a local chapter where i used to live at the time. I started the NSA Milwaukee Chapter.

I was the founder/President and found some people to help run it. We had a good turn out about 15 people showed on a regular basis. It did vary from week to week but overall I would charterize it as a success. I moved soon after and reliquished my responsibilty to another person. I am not sure if it still in around. I came with the experence as a very good one.

Now that I am 38 years old a married man with a family. I am a stay at home dad now. I can't be more happier. I have found two things that helped me with my stuttering the most.

1.) Acceptance. You need to accept your stuttering. Its an important key.

2.) Confidence. I have had a renewed self confidence after that support group meeting.]]> http://stutteringsteve.webs.com/myblog.htm?blogentryid=3895099#topBox http://stutteringsteve.webs.com/myblog.htm?blogentryid=3895099 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 21:31:00 -0100 http://stutteringsteve.webs.com/myblog.htm?blogentryid=3872023 Thank You!
