Swampy, congratulations on two weeks! It gets easier and it gets better but it doesn't happen all at once. Meeting women when you are sober isn't the same because you are putting more of yourself on the line. There's no alcohol to hide behind. Believe it or not, A.A. is actually good for this too. No, not meeting chicks, but getting accustomed to talking about yourself honestly and getting practice really listening to other people. If you choose to take these skills and apply them to other areas of your life, GOOD FOR YOU! That's what you are supposed to do.
Coming in from the cold
In this life, in this life, in this life
In this oh sweet life
We're coming in from the cold
We're coming in, coming in, coming in
Coming in from the cold

It's you, it's you, it's you i'm talking to
Well you, it's you, it's you
It's you i'm talking to now
Why do you look so sad and forsaken
When one door is closed
Don't you know another is open

-- Bob Marley, "Coming In From The Cold"
