This sounds very similar to what I did, as well. The thing that differs is that I was really fueled by a passion of a different future. Of a future where stuttering didn't occupy 70% of my thoughts. Of a time when I wouldn't feel social anxiety and just talk to whomever I felt like. I also was battling with the thought that I was going to end up alone for the rest of my life because of it. Safe to say, I HATED my life with an uncontrolled stutter. In the past I even described it as a curse. That was my the reason why I stuck with so many habits that didn't immediately bear fruit. It would be wrong to say that I never wanted to "fight" stuttering. That is how I felt in the beginning. Now, though, I feel at peace with it. No longer need to "fight" it, anymore. I am proud of the life it gave me. I created a YT channel, I got jacked, I met countless people (and still counting) because of it, discovered my passion for business etc. But don't get me wrong, I believe people should express their frustration as a reason for wanting to conquer stuttering. For most people, stuttering was their biggest bully. They should use that anger for fuel in the beginning of the journey and with time, these people will come to the same conclusion you have come to, Alex. I too don't force fluency anymore, I don't care if I block here and there. I don't keep track. But younger me wouldn't understand this.
