Fortunately, I was aware of some isolation and didn't like it but felt somewhat incapable (or unworthy?) of much social life. I'm trying to remedy that but it's actually real work to do so! Just got an email from a friend suggesting a Sun. aftn. trip to museum and I'm full of reasons not to go, among them my AA spouse. On the other hand I had a wonderful (although it took a lot of effort) time with an old colleague and friend yesterday when we went swimming and ate dinner together. It was a real booster and as my therapist pointed out today, I need more of those. The internet is a wonderful excellent tool for connecting with people I would otherwise not know but there's nothing like face-to-face arm-around-the-shoulder contact.
> I've dropped any idea od a social life whatsoever. I stopped AA and I am glued to the PC or books when not at work. Wow. I don't even think about it much but that test made me think.
