“Not avoiding” isn’t a strategy “not to stutter”. In fact, it’s the opposite. Fluency strategies by definition hide or prevent stuttering from occurring. The point of not avoiding is you’re being your true authentic self. To many people, that’s a bigger payoff or a better way to live than fluency shaping. So, if your goal is not to stutter, then by all means keep avoiding.
