Is There A Cure For A Stutter?

There is often a big debate in speech therapy circles about whether people can overcome stuttering, to be able to live a stutter free life. Some specialists say you can and others say you cant.
I started stuttering when I was four years of age. My childhood and my early adult life were very much affected by this most frustrating form of speech impediment.
My parents, who saw how much it troubled me, sought help, in the early years, via taking me to a local speech therapist. Even now, at the age of thirty-four, I can clearly remember how much I disliked attending these classes.
Possibly due to my bad attitude but also due to the quality, or lack of it, of the speech therapist, I struggled to improve my fluency. In fact as I became older the worse the stutter became.
As I entered into my teenage years, I became more and more frustrated with my lack of improvement via speech therapy and also with the fact that I actually had a stutter. I was starting to feel a little sorry for myself.
At around the age of fifteen I asked a speech therapist if there was a cure for stuttering, he told me that there was not. I could not believe it and my heart sank, I could not bear having this horrible speech impediment for the rest of my life.
At the age of sixteen I became drunk for the first time, it may seem strange but I loved the feeling! I had so much confidence and my speech seemed to improve with every bottle I drank.
This was, for me, a breakthrough. I was able to talk when drunk, therefore I should be able to talk when I am sober there is no excuse.
The cure for stuttering is not to be in a permanent drunken state but it just proved that I did have the capability of talking fluently.
I then had the task of developing this into a full blown cure for stammering and stuttering.
