How to accept stutter

How to accept stutter I tried speech therapy for a few months and I didn’t find the techniques too helpful but one thing I learned is that when I try to replace a word I stutter on with a similar word like saying Mike instead of Michael for my name or saying I’ll have a coke instead of water when ordering but I find that doing this only helps temporarily and doesn’t really work in making me feel less shameful about stuttering. Also I really only care about stuttering when talking to a stranger and not my friends or family which I don’t stutter as much around anyway.
