Clay, alcoholism does create what you call emotional retardation. Often our feelings and social skills got stunted by the booze. When we're sober without our buddy to chug down we have to deal with a world that we couldn't deal with before! Don't worry, you'll catch up. Little steps and then celebrate the successes, don't concentrate on lack. I believe my experience with alcoholism made me a stronger person, one I never would have been otherwise! I'm not saying that I'm glad I was a drunk but it was what it was and now it is what it is smile Hang in there. We want everything to come as fast as our buzz did lol. Patience is a virtue!
