I think stuttering acceptance is more of "I'm not going to try to hide my stutter" than "I'm okay with stuttering". You can still practice your speech and try to improve everyday, but it's also helpful to not use avoidance tactics, stutter openly without covering your mouth, don't change words, etc.
