Hey Angel, I can completely relate to the shyness thing. Drinking made me a complete social butterfly. I felt so awkward in social situations if I wasn't drinking. I was always worried about what other people were thinking.
I have come out of that quite a bit, although I am still somewhat reserved. That's ok though. Sharing at AA meetings has helped me to overcome my shyness. It's not always easy, but if I step out of my comfort zone on a regular basis, it becomes much easier the next time.
Glad you are here.
God bless.
