It gets easier. I'm 42 and managed a severe childhood stutter with elocution lessons, speech therapy, counselling, studying theatre and doing my degree in drama, which included stage acting at uni doing the like of shakespeare. I would say I have fluent days but I don't ever see my speech impediment as being cured in those days. I wouldn't be the natural introvert I am without that childhood, wouldn't have the range of words I have nor the depth of empathy. To cure or fix a stutter would mean giving up the part of your personality it has forged. Listen to "Hi Ren" by Ren on YouTube and please check out videos on the philosophy of Albert Camus, his mantra "one must imagine Sisyphus happy" is something I found fighting cancer in my early thirties. It's my foundation now. I have my thyroid completely removed, actual operations on my throat, with the stutter the symbolism wasn't lost on me. Or put more plain, "I am what I am" Popeye the sailor man. I wish you fluency but moreso happiness and self contentment in your journey.
