I have since I was about 9 years old. I literally sounded like porky pig lol

As I have aged and thankfully as a side effect to state mandated psychiatric/psychological care provided when put in foster care I have been able to curb most of the stutter. However, certain situations (ie: reading from a script, placing emphasis on certain words in situations where it is important to use those specific words and even saying my own name to a stranger) I still stutter quite badly and somewhat howl while trying to force the words out.

I have learned what situations to avoid, what mix of words that make sense together explaining the exact same thing as the unspeakable word and have to practice anything I know will be very difficult to say. To this day I cannot read two sentences out loud from paper or screen without stuttering like a madman though. If it's from memory it's a totally different animal. Practice makes perfect in some cases.

In a call center environment it was hell on high heels for a long time until I was informed it was acceptable to play with the scripting a bit as long as key statement were made in a clear wording. In face-to-face sales I have never ever had any issues except when reciting my own name when answering phone calls or giving out my cell number, which began with '8'.

Just curious to see what other have dealt with this over their lifetime and what silly remedies to hangups anyone has figured out.
