The "Public Relations" answer is that "I don't care about fluency anymore." But, of course, I do. And there are some days when I get very frustrated with myself and feel 'down' about my speech. But I've found that when I force or challenge myself to do something (i.e. make a phone call, ask a question in a store, etc.), I feel great afterwards...EVEN IF I BLOCK ON EVERY WORD. I guess the answer to your question is: 'yes', I have seen an increase in fluency. But more importantly than that, I've seen an increase in my being more open to facing challenges.
