This Article Is All About How To Achieve Fluency And Looks At The Specific Speech Impediment Known As Stammeringstuttering. My Name Is Steve Hill, I Suffered With A Stutter From The Age Of Four And Despite Regular Conventional Speech Therapy, Continued Stuttering Until The Age Of Twenty-two.I Found Life With A Stutter Extremely Frustrating As At Times I Could Speak Very Well. For Example When I Spoke To What Is Now My Ex-girlfriend I Very Rarely Had A Problem, However When Attempting To Speak To Her Parents I Struggled Quite Badly.When I Was Drunk My Fluency Level Also Would Improve To A Level Where I Would Be Shocked If I Stuttered At All.I Could Not Understand Why I Could Talk To One Person But Not To Another And Why I Could Speak When I Was Drunk But Not When I Was Sober.I Read Many Books About Speech Imediments, Achieving Fluency And Stuttering And Spoke To Many Speech Therapists. From What I Read And From What I Was Told, I Was Made To Believe That I Was Unable To Live A Stuttering-free Life As It Suggested You Are Unable To Eradicate A Stutter.This Is A Very Negative Attitude, However I Could Not Really Believe What I Was Hearing And Reading As I Knew I Could Talk Very Well At Times.I Then Was Fortunate Enough To Watch Bruce Willis Being Interviewed On The Television. He Stated That He Had Had A Stutter Which Had Started When He Was A Young Boy, However He Had Managed To Achieve Fluency When He Was A Late Teenager. This Was A Huge Inspiration To Me And I Then Decided That I Would Attempt To Overcome My Own Speech Impediment.After Nearly A Year Of Working Very Hard By Reading Books About Positive Thinking And Mind Over Matter And By Basically Studying People Who I Thought Were Great Speakers, I Also Managed To Beat The Stutter. As A Career I Now Help Other People To Achieve Fluency.
