yello I'll be honest. IMO, you're on a very good path right now. Acknowledging that you can't "delete" the stutter is a fundamental stage in the life of a stutterer. I can't speak on behalf of other stutterers, but I'll share my experience. Once I recognised that I would be a stutterer forever (which took me quite some time) and stopped trying to hide or delete it, things started to look better for me — mainly because I was no longer trying to "impress" or "hide" such an important part of myself and to seem like a "normal" speaking person. I started caring less about my speech. By not forcing myself to speak fluently, part of my stress disappeared, and with it, a chunk of my stutter. Nowadays it’s still there, of course, but I’ve noticed quite an improvement in my speech. So my personal suggestion is: stop caring so much. I know that’s not easy, but once you reach this point, you’ll slowly learn to stop giving a shit about how you speak. Don’t think about stuttering on purpose. Don’t think about hiding it. Just talk. And stutter. :\]
