<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

I know, first world problems. Maybe I've just been cooped up in this house alone to long during this blizzard.

I'm thirty years old. I've had a pretty fun life. Almost became a professional snowboarder, after almost killing myself I toned it down and worked my *** off in the trades. I ended up landing a great job that is secure and pays well. I'm an average looking tall lanky guy that hits the gym 4-5 times a week. 

The problem? I had to move to a new city with no contacts. I'm clean now after spending my twenties drunk and high. I don't see the appeal anymore, I'll drink a beer or two if a co-worker invites me to a pub but that's it. Honestly, I hate going to bars and being around drugs anymore, despite all the fun memories.

I don't have a social circle and I've honestly never been sober while making love (Typically a ONS after a healthy dose of booze and narcotics.) Dating scares the f**k out me and I don't know where to start. I've been on a few dates, It was awful. Both were adorable, nice, and friendly women. I was just so awkward it had to be pretty off putting for them. Once/if I do meet one do I speak of my past or just kinda graze over the dark parts?

As bad as it is I want to keep trying, Any Tips? I'm a pretty introverted guy and terrible at keeping in contact with people that are not around me. I would say I have three close friends I've known for 20 years. I only see them a few times a year for snowboarding trips and summer fun. We all live in different parts of the world now..
<bot>: I feel like I'm a pretty solid guy anymore but I can't make it past the first few dates. I need to overcome the shyness.
