Unhappy Anxiety: Alcohol and Xanax Withdrawal

Hey guys.
Sorry if this has been touched on before, but I'm really having trouble with social anxiety after I've detoxed from xanax and alcohol. I REFUSE to let myself relapse, because I never want to be back in the place I was before. However, I'm finding it very hard to socialize with people now. I know it was super dangerous and dumb of me, but I was taking 6mg of xanax a day, and drinking quite frequently. I was talkative and "fun" to be around. Now I feel like a recluse. I can't really strike up a conversation with friends because I'm too nervous and anxious. Do you guys have any thoughts on what I can do to help with this issue? Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you!
