This seminar explores the complex relationship between stuttering, alcohol use, and emotional well-being. Many people who stutter may turn to alcohol in social situations as a way to ease anxiety, numb shame, or feel more fluent—but the short-term relief often comes with long-term consequences. Together with Nora A. O’Connor, LSCW, we’ll discuss healthier coping strategies, share experiences in a supportive environment, and build awareness about how alcohol can affect both speech and mental health. We will also touch on other substances and vices, such as marijuana and gambling, that can play a similar role in coping.
