As I work through my self-therapy book, it says "If you are sincerely interested in working on your speech, you will need to have a strong motivation to overcome your difficulty and a sincere determination to follow through on the suggested procedures and assignments. The importance of motivation cannot be exaggerated, and success or failure of therapy will depend on your commitment in following through."
Well, I think I have been motivated and determined as I really want to stop stuttering. I will have to be diligent in practicing and concentrating on every new technique I learn.
