I've tried (with some success) doing cold approaches when I was younger (about to turn 30), got a few numbers ECT, but that was back when I was in college around campus ECT.

I've tried online dating but for some reason it never works out, I've asked other girls how I look attractive wise and they always say I'm "handsome" so I would assume I'm around a 6 on the looks. I'm also 5"7' and weigh about 170 but go to the gym 3 days a week for weights, I'm no means skinny or fat, pretty average with some muscle.

Anyway I'm at a loss how to start trying again, I pretty much don't have a social life cause I work a lot, there is only one other person that I work with so co-workers are not an option friend or relationship wise.

I'm also a recovering alcoholic so trying to stay away from bars, I have dreadful approach anxiety (Shakeyness, fast talking, loss of words ect), is there any advice on how to start again?

TLDR; need advice on starting PUA, bars are a no-go, workplace is a no-go, where and how do I start?
