the social skills come back if we get out and practice.
course i'm much more social on the computer than real life, but i'm working on it
I do the AA thing...so it's always a good way to meet people who are recovering and trying to grow and change thier lives...we aren't all god people and/or evanulists (lol)
I've discovered a new appreciation for the younger generation since I got sober...so age may not be as big a factor as you think.
keep us posted (hug)
