Overwhelmingly so! I don't feel so constrained anymore and I have all of these "new" and confusing emotions that I'm pretty happy to get to experience. Sometimes my stutter makes me frustrated as well. I can’t even qualify concealment with an analogous behavior but dropping it altogether has been plain easier and like “I get to live my life” if that makes any sense instead of being bound by my embarrassment or feelings about my own stutter.
