Hey, I'm also 22, in Edmonton. I have a boyfriend and one friend who I've known for a long long time...and that's about it, so...its not exactly the same situation, although these people are really family like family to me. I know how you feel. I have no idea how to meet people. You're not alone. [/i]

Welcome Really_Confused!

Sounds like you are on the right track with sobriety and therapy. I can see how someone with SA could become alcholic, I've used alcohol for social situations quite often... I even remember being in high school track and field and bringing in a spiked coke bottle because I was so nervous about people watching me. I didn't know I had SA then though.

Good luck!
