I personally strengthened a lot of my beliefs in what I need to do to get what i want. My goal is definitely not fluency, it's not even effective communication so much. I think I know how to communicate. I'm trying to eliminate the fear and shame I have associated with stuttering so that I can actually enjoy speaking and not have it be such a painful, grueling experience. I've only confirmed that fight my facing my fear and fighting my avoidance behaviors (which is pretty much everything we do other than normal stuttering) is the right path for me!
