Anways at the moment its gone 1am I'm sitting in pitch black in my living room (everyone else is gone to bed ages ago) I've been studying most of the night and am stoned on coffee and..well...more coffee.
In the space of the last twenty minutes I've posted two poems "out of thin air" on Boards. They show where I've come from in my head to where I am now...
The new me!
There I sat broken hearted,
Tried to speak and never started.
I opened mouth but nothing came out,
yet in my head my voice cried out.
Now I stand Now I've started
I've found my voice, the silence - departed.
and if I stammer - If I stop
I don't care - I'm **** hot!
Charlie - The poet I never knew !

Then and now
My entire body was burning
I could feel the flames
coursing my veins
as I tried to speak out
Lost words stalked my dreams
with classroom scenes and wispered voices
I took a turn - some brand new chances
to make a change - to make advances
I've turned my head, I've turned a corner.
new wisdom - I'm stronger.

Hi Charlie, Like the positive twist at the end of your poems. Would'nt be at all surprised if you tell us over the coming month or so you are on your way out of your difficulty. Seems your self belief is now kicking in.
Incidentally, I am a bit late getting the broadband in, and I joined boards only the other week. I was on my way over to the Atheism forum, as I had a few questions I wanted to ask them. I saw the Stammering forum and decided to take a peek. Reading the various posts, brought back many uncomfortable memories. That was a good thing, as I decided to contribute my "half-penny worth".
I hold the belief that the stammerer knows more about the difficulty than any non-stammering expert in the field. You've clearly done a lot of research and thrown the "kitchen sink" at it. Its no surprise to me that you are turning the whole thing round now. Wishing you all the best and following your blog with interest.
Cheers Don
