Fluency is a goal every stutterer would like to achieve, but in some cases, you first have to accept the fact that you stutter and become comfortable with your stuttering. In most cases I believe stuttering is amplified by social anxiety and fear of awkward situations happening to you again, so by getting comfortable and fine with the fact that stutters are going to happen, you become relaxed and stuttering becomes less intense. No one wants to stutter and no one wants to give themselves a stutter. Forcing fluency as a goal right away will do more harm than good sometimes.
