So sorry to hear that Brontoset. I know the first six months of sobriety I felt like the laughing funny person I was had disappeared and I couldn't find her. Took awhile but eventually she came back - just took me a bit not to feel inhibited and to let my inner child feel free to have fun again. I stopped trying to be such a grown up and let my hair down a little. I'm not saying this is what's happening with you. I just know that with me it took me time to feel comfortable in my new skin, to feel my feelings without alcohol, heck to do anything without alcohol. I think you just need to give yourself more time - your talent will come back.
