Why am I still gripped with social anxiety?

How do I rebalance myself and get my old social skills back without relying on alchohol?

Maybe start doing non alcohol related social activities? Like team sports?

You haven't lost you social skills, you just got rusty. I'm sure, once you are again among people regularly, everything will come back. That means, you have to put more social activities into you schedule.
Start observing your state more: Increase activities, that raise your social state and decrease activities, that drain your social energy, e.g. being too much online
Warm up when you need your social skill at a certain event. E.g. talk to a friend via phone on the way to a party or ask strangers for directions instead of using google maps
Your social skills can only regenerate when you reduce/avoid alcohol. By using alcohol you avoid unpleasant social situations and the feelings, that come with them. But you have to face them to overcome them on your own.

Social anxiety is an easy fix. You just need A TONNE of exposure therapy and to be VERY patient with it. You'll overcome it
