Got sober and stutter feels like its worse.

Got sober and stutter feels like its worse. First time posting here and just wondering if anyone has any experience with alcoholism and stuttering. I'm 33 years old and have had a stutter ever since I can remember. I was always an anxious and shy kid so everyone thought my anxiety was the cause of my stutter. However, I'm also anxious because of my stutter. It's a catch-22 situation that I'm sure many of you are familiar with. At an early age I discovered that drinking helps with my anxiety and as a result my stutter is much less predominant. From 16-30 I used alcohol to self medicate and bring me out of my shell. I went through long periods when my stutter was less bothersome and those periods also lined up with my periods of excessive drinking. You would think that drinking would make someones stutter worse bit for me it had the exact opposite effect. It became a running joke among me and my friends. If only I could tell my childhood speech therapist I found the cure! It wasn;t completely gone, but I was able to manage and hide it much better. However, with drinking comes trouble. I had multiple relationships fall apart due to my drinking which of course led to more drinking. Without getting into all of that, I am now 1 and half years sober and my childhood stutter seems like it is coming back and with it so is my anxiety. I've started taking SSRIs for the first time since high school and its supposed to be helping with my anxiety but I hardly notice the difference. I'm also honestly bad at taking them everyday. It's been really difficult to stay sober when my stutter seems to be getting worse. I don't expect my AA sponsor to understand so I turned to reddit. If anyone has had similar experiences I'd love to hear how you cope.
