Great! Love your strategy. Is genius. You accept the fact that you can´t (at least for now) stutter proudly so you manage your options. I can see how it works and why it reduces your anxiety. There are several people who says that in order to overcome stuttering we have to get used our brain to hear us talking fluently. Re-enforcing the pathway for fluency instead of stuttering. So they encourage us to talk alone or in whatever situation we don´t stutter. In that context, whever we stutter we re-enforce the stuttering pathway. As you said it, most of us don´t stutter all the time. So lowering the occasions of stuttering day by day and increasing just the fluent one´s would be the way to go.
