Hi I guess I consider myself as having been cured from stuttering, but disagree where you say I probably didn’t have a stutter.  The cure for myself is that I can answer a phone, host a meeting, and enter an occupied room and deliver my message across.  That certainly never used to be the case and the biggest, but not all, part of that was the hyperfear that I had become accustomed to. Do I deliver perfectly?  Not always.  But I don’t cause distraction away from my message as I had slowly beaten back that fear. You say there is nothing you can do to cure your stutter and I feel for you on this, but please do not discredit the experience that others, like myself, have gone through. I’m curious that you’ve never had anxiety.  Have you never had to speak to an audience in school or work?
