I wanted to speak smoothly and fluently.
I wanted to communicate effectively.
I wanted to express myself freely.
I wanted to speak without any worries, doubts or concerns.
But most of the times, when I opened my mouth to speak, I stuttered badly. I had speech blocks... sometime severe ones that took me 30 seconds to get out!
You know what, the physical struggle of stuttering was painful for sure... but what HURT me the most was the emotional side of stuttering.
It made me feel frustrated.
It made me feel less than others.
It made me feel ashamed.
It made me feel like a failure.
It made me feel hopeless.
My life was falling apart just because of my stuttering...
No career.
No dating.
No relationships.
No social life.
No success.
No future.
This was NOT FAIR!
You know the feeling where you are angry, aggressive and brutal to everything and everyone around you... but you still keep crying inside silently like a lonely baby?
It was painful. Very painful indeed!
I see my friends, my family and strangers speaking freely without even thinking about their speech.
I am like "why can't I just do something that everyone else around me does very easily?"
...and not only that, I asked the below question every-single-day:
"Why God WHY ME?"
I don't know - may be you can relate?
But I thought this was just not fair.

I believe that every stutterer should be able to live his/her life to the FULLEST!
Stuttering should NOT be an obstacle on our way to succeed and living the life we desire!
We deserve the best...and I am not saying this lightly!
I've met with thousands and thousands of stutterers in my life and I can tell you that 99% of stutterers are quality people with huge hearts.
...and I believe they deserve the best in life!
People ask me why I started my online stuttering academy (11 years ago) and put together all the digital products and online courses that comes with it when I have a business to run in a totally different topic than stuttering (I'm a business engineer by the way)?
The reason is just that!
I wanted people all around the world who have stuttering challenges in life to access the best and most honest material.
...not a bunch of nonsense about how to cure your stuttering overnight!
I've fallen into those type of traps countless times and lost money, time and all my hopes during the process.
I just don't want other stutterers to go through what I had gone through for years.
I created these products to share what I learned/know with stutterers (from all around the world).
Those materials include EVERYTHING I wish I had when I was struggling with my speech and was looking for a solution to fix/overcome it.

Today I wanted to tell you a bit about how my stuttering story started.
Tomorrow, I am going to send you part-2 of my story where I'll tell you how I discovered the real secret of overcoming stuttering the right way!
And that's the exact reason why most speech therapy programs, online courses, speech pathology sessions, stuttering books, intensive stuttering workshops and most of the "stop stuttering" solution alternatives out there DON'T work... or at least don't work permanently.
Forget everything you know about stuttering
...and keep an eye on your mailbox tomorrow.
All the best,
Chazzler
