As a severe stutterer too, I am letting you know all of those goals are possible. I am willing to bet that you have more of a fear problem than a stuttering problem. Not to say speaking is not hard, but it seems like there is an "afraid to fail" mentality going on. Try not to worry about getting speech therapy immediately. It won't be as effective if you have a lit of negative emotions tied to the stuttering. Try to get more comfortable with your stutter. Go in baby steps. Talk at your current job more. Avoid less. Maybe order something to eat that you can never say.
