There is no magic pill to “cure” stuttering… There is only speech modification. Talk quieter. Talk in a higher range. Talk slower. Speak in small clauses and limit your speaking to the top half of your breath. You are experiencing “pigeon logic,” where you are going to start to build an ever increasing set of rituals to “make it work.” I got by as a closet stutterer for nearly 50 years doing this. It just gets too tiring.
