Thank you for your definition of cured. So many people define cured as no stuttering. I feel I am cured and I like your parameters of enhanced self-confidence, enhanced self-awareness, and enhanced empathy. I have just a little twinge of guilt when a well meaning acquaintance comments to me about someone noted in the media who has cured their stuttering by some sort of device or another. I feel this acquaintance is saying - why don't you do this. That twinge of guilt passes quickly as I review all the things I have done with my life. As it is, my stuttering is a part of my life and I have no idea what kind of a person I would have been if I did not stutter - and I like myself.
