Yeah, I agree with that outlook. As I previously noted to two commenters: "Look at it this way: The more voluntary control you exhibit over your habits and tendencies and other areas outside of stuttering, the more you strengthen the brain areas and processes related to voluntary control. This positive effect is bound to trickle down even to your speech along all else." "There may be a fire (in this case stuttering) we can't help putting out, but we can ensure it doesn't spread out. And the more contained it remains, the less our lives affected by it. And the less of our lives affected by it, the more in control of our lives we are and the more positive we remain, producing a virtuous cycle instead of being stuck in a vicious one."
