That's better than me! My first period of fluency happened when I was 31. It lasted 90 days and then sadly faded. Then, 7 years later, I had another time of fluency but it wasn't as smooth and only lasted 30 days. Both times I literally felt like a blind person given sight. I was socially gregarious, outgoing, excited to be alive. But now it's back to normal and I hate talking. I don't want to give you hope because chasing fluency is one of the worst things we stutters can do. But I believe you'll have another time of fluency, especially since your first bout came at a younger age. When it does come, be happy and use it. Go get laid, change jobs, make new friends, or whatever. Just know it won't last.
