No, and to be honest I don't think I ever will. And I'm ok with that. Ever since I was a kid, and still now as an adult, I was told that I had to become fluent or I wouldn't be successful. Whenever I started to struggle with a sentence or words, I would be scolded for it. My parents told me that if I stopped stuttering, they'd buy me an ipad (i REALLY wanted an ipad as a kid), and whenever I'd stutter they'd tell me things like "you'll never get that ipad at this rate". It just ended up making things worse. I never got that ipad. Still mad about that. Instead of fluency, I've decided thaf self-acceptance is more important. As I've grown older and gained access to things like the internet, I've found all sorts of amazing resources that speech impaired/mute people use. When I do speak, I remind myself that it's ok to stutter, and that the people worth speaking to will wait for me. That's all that matters in the end. If I magically becpme fluent, I'm ok with that, but I'm also ok with stuttering until the day I die.
