This is the exact same conclusion I arrived at a little while ago. For those interested, you can read my approach [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/5z1lhr/stuttering_my_personal_approach/?sort=confidence). Your point on control really resonates with my personal opinion. Why should one be afraid of something you cannot control? Fear is our enemy, not our stutter. It is a primitive instinct to be afraid. Fear is not real. Until you have learned to not let your life be controlled by fear you have not learned anything. You are not afraid because you have a stutter. You are afraid because you are insecure, you do not like yourself. Instead of concentrating on what you cannot control, the stutter, focus on what you can control: your ability to work on yourself. This means deliberate training. This means investing time and effort to make your ability to overcome fear and to speak better. Not doing anything and sitting in your room being depressed hoping for that one pill or moment to free yourself from the stutter is like saying: "I have tried nothing and I am all out of ideas".
