That is awesome to hear. I have gone through a similar type of journey, I would classify my stutter as more rooted from social anxiety, I almost never stutter when I am with family, or a friend who I feel no judgement from, but in other situations I stutter on specific vowels, words, etcetera. It is truly mind-blowing when you realize just how much effort and thought goes into choosing the right keywords, techniques before talking, or just giving up to avoid anything negative happening, ​ I am now 22, for the past 3-4 years I have been extremely prioritizing working on my stutter and social anxiety. I also went through the same logic of "nobody really cares if I stutter" and also just being open about it. Before a work presentation with a small audience of people I know, I just preface lightly "I tend to have a speech impediment at times, just giving a heads up!" ​ It seems like what helps the most is not avoiding it, or hiding it completely. But understanding what stuttering is, especially if it is anxiety-induced, because it sounds pretty damn impossible to get rid of those mental obstacles we go through when saying anything. It sounds cliche and basic, but accepting it and owning it will do more good in the long-run than living under a rock. Sometimes, when the stutter happens in a conversation, it is almost relieving when it is "over with" and now it's just out there, and time to just focus on what I want to say. ​ And this is all easier said than done. I know. Just wanted to share my thoughts back at you. Best of luck!
