UKfox ~ Congratulations, and I hope to get where you are one day. As far as eye contact, I don't think most people stare into each others' eyes except for brief periods of time, as they talk. But I know what you are saying. Try looking at other parts of people's faces as you talk to them. You are doing so well. I have been without alcohol and street drugs for about 20 years, but can't claim sobriety, as I still use pills for pain and to block out feelings. You are doing great, Fox! billieJ
