Basically, I just got used to it. I was forced to speak more than I used to do because I moved abroad for study. Since it is just me now, I started speaking a lot and somehow I managed to control it. It is hard to explain it in words. Also, I stutter less when I speak English, but in my language, I feel more anxious because people assume that I should I have no problem speaking my mother tongue and whenever I stutter people start to look at me strangely some even laugh. It makes me uncomfortable and whenever I think about it happens again I stutter more. And, since I am in a foreign country when I stutter people judge me less, because they probably think that my English is not good enough he is thinking about what word should say, or how to pronounce it correctly. So they judge less and I will more better speaking English. I hope it makes sense to you. anyways good luck, don't give up. Change your environment if you can like did. Not sure if it works or not.
