There's always hope. I've been there where I just wanted to be a hermit and seclude because it felt safe too. Speech is like a muscle you need to exercise regularly or it will atrophy. Have you though...

Old stutterer here who got dramatically better. I want all of you to know that you always have someone to talk to or ask questions or just freakin' vent to. Also, I want you to know that it does get better. Always keep hope alive.

Your success criteria shouldn't be "getting rid of it altogether", but "managing/controlling it". Sounds like you're doing fine in that sense - the parameter to work on is the amount of control, then....
