hey man im glad you are doing much better. Im 22 and have been stuttering for about 6 years i believe. But only now im actually gonna go ahead and work towards getting rid of it and not only that but completely change my thinking of stuttering. Yes i do believe that its mostly due to the fear of actually stuttering that leads you to stutter. So getting rid of that anxiety as you said will probably get rid of 90% of the stuttering. The other 10% is the fact that since you stuttered for so long it became a habit. So out of habit you might stutter. But once again habit can be gotten rid off so i believe its possible to be 99% fluent. Not 100% because no one is perfect haha
