I hit it pretty hard in my twenties, so when I stopped drinking shortly after I turned 30 I was very surprised to discover I was a massive introvert. I had been drinking since my late teens just so I could be bothered socialising and meeting women. I started drinking again when I became a father but usually only a beer or two at a time.
I was at my drinking worst and by chance met a stunning balkan woman at a wedding. I charmed her and scored a date. I soon realized that picking up a woman who was way out of my league, meeting her parents, taking her out to dinner - sober - was daunting and a high anxiety experience. Lucky I was smart enough to quickly reflect on my life and it was a no brainer what had to happen.
