After stopping drinking, I have seen a lot of social anxiety surface, and then disappear after confronting it, but even more interesting is the interactions I'm having with people are so much more positive.
Looking back on these two months, I have really realized that I had been feeding my social anxiety with alcohol, and had been really leading some very shallow relationships. Stopping drinking has removed that mask, and has allowed me to delve much deeper into my own personal relationships.
Drunk you may be funny and sexy and endearing, but she's just a cartoon. She's an exaggerated version of you, a caricature, all zany big lips and anime eyes.
Sober you, though? She's the portrait. And she's beautiful.
