**Acceptance does not necessarily mean resignation** meaning that you can accept your stuttering condition as part of who you are and continue to make improvements for fluency if that is what you desire. Keep in mind that most stutterers will not become 100% fluent all the time, some will gain temporary fluency and then revert, some will make significant improvements, however, not to 100% all the time, so if you can't reach your fluency goals, then eventually later in life, you eventually need to fully accept your condition and your fluency level and/or live with the eventual disfluency flair ups.
