Without boozing or any of that stuff. It's like I want to have a fun time, make new friends and live a full life, but my head always goes back to the mindset of teenage me, when I first started using. Always seemed to need a few before anything so I wouldn't be the shy quiet guy, and I can make friends.. LAME!

Any kind of meetings will help.just go a few times a week.it will get better.
I found if you try sharing in a meeting or reading, it helps the nerves from being shy, kinda builds up your confidence
I’m the same way man. I’ve never been a social person. I was well known in high school and college because I played basketball, but wasn’t very social outside of that. And when I was drinking or getting high on something, I was the life of the party. But now that I’m sober, I’m having a hard time being social again. I can’t go to concerts anymore because I always did that drunk to be able to have a good time. So it’s definitely a struggle for me too to make friends and have fun sober.
