Hey! I experienced something similar but with a remission period of almost 15 years. It comes as a shock. It will take time to make peace with the identity of a person with a stutter. In my case, I lost that identity until the relapse. Just understand that fear is the driver for your stutter right now. Especially the fear of stuttering. Without it you are fully capable of fluent speech. The only way it has worked for me so far is slowing down when I am talking and being deliberate. This helps me in keeping the breadth control along with being aware of my feelings. It has helped many times to wade of fear. It will take a little bit to get used to stuttering again and doing it naturally till it takes a back seat.
