Bouncing Ball
Life is like a ball. When you hit it harder, it will bounce higher.

I think there is a way to learn not to stutter. It is a learned process and may take a long time. It is the result of my considering my own stuttering which has been mostly gone for the last 10 years or so. However when I am faced with certain triggers it comes back.
Part of the solution is to choose those that we deal with. In my case I think my stuttering was in some part purposefully caused by my older brother. One of the things he did was to interrupting me at the exact point when I was about to say something. In at least one other situation I was caused to stutter by a food worker who by chance took the words out of my mouth by asking me a question at the exact time I was about to speak.
The next part is to try to eliminate the fear associated with stuttering. To me fear is not a byproduct of stuttering. It is the biggest cause of stuttering. I know that eliminating the fear is not easy. I recall stopping at an airport counter and talking with a person who stuttered. I found I could reduce his stuttering by actively reducing the things that lead to fear. I did this by first stepping back slightly and then being as open and patient as possible. It seemed to help. If any of theses steps is the most important it is this one.
Another thing that plays into stuttering is anger. Many of the words I stuttered on were words I did not want to say. They were part of our programmed language. I find it much more meaningful to communicate with people with the minimum of words. Sometimes a glance can be used to indicate disbelief. Other gestures can be used with good effect.
Another part is to try to concentrate on the public speaking part of speech. Look at the public speakers in our society. Today Barack Obama is the best example of someone who has mastered the art of public speaking. Study his use of pauses and how they are used. Look at his pronunciation. His biggest asset is his speaking ability. By the way
I think some of the better public speakers got their start as stutters. Also everyone stutters to some extent. I listen for it on the radio and do hear announcers begin to stutter from time to time.
Lastly work to accept yourself.
