Having grown up having to cope with a stuttering speech impediment, I often wondered what it would be like to be able to talk fluently. That day has now arrived, I am now able to converse in a fluent manner, without the fear of stuttering, it certainly feels like a miracle.

I am a person who started to stutter when I was four years age. There was no real trigger to me developing this form of speech impediment; well at least I am not aware of one. I could say that life was hard however this was the only life I knew, therefore I realised I had to make the most of what I had. It was a case of concentrating on the positive side of life, on what I did have rather that what I did not. There were of course times when I would lie in bed and imagine just how much easier life would be without the horrible stutter. I would also pray to God and ask him to remove this stuttering curse from my life.

I am a big believer in God however I am not one who goes around preaching about him. I have more of a personal one to one relationship, rather than discussing religious matters in groups. I once read about why, in the eyes of God, it is wrong to swear. The article was discussing the miracle of speech and how we should not abuse that miracle. This is surely was fluent speech is, a miracle. So how should I go about achieving this fluent speech and to eradicate the stutter from my life once and for all?

Instead of praying to God and asking him to eradicate it for me, I need to show that I am worthy of fluent speech. In my opinion you get out of life what you put in, I therefore have to work extremely hard to overcome the stutter, then I will hopefully be able to cure it.

I worked diligently for around a year and then finally was able to speak in the way that I had always wanted, fluently. That was fully twelve years, when I was aged twenty-two. I am now therefore aged thirty-four and still fully appreciate my fluent speech.
