1 month sober, feeling alone but can barely leave my house

Hey guys,
I'm just looking for some advice/support on anxiety of all varieties in early sobriety.
I hit a bottom on New Years, and was hospitalized for withdrawals. I was drinking a liter of vodka and however many tall boys daily. I also did EVERYTHING with a drink, shopping, making art, school, work, doctors visits, biking, etc. Especially socializing. It's what got me out of the house and "made me, and everything else, fun."
So now, I am coming up on one month sober, and I have barely seen any of my friends, haven't been able to go to meetings, skipped appointments. I am paralyzed by anxiety. Most of all social anxiety. I flake out all the time on plans and stay in my apartment.
I don't know how to live happily sober. I don't know how to interact with the world.
Thank you so much
