I'm in a similar situation, though helped by the fact that I use a lot of english in daily life in both my profession and private life (international friends and relatives).

I've noticed that practice makes perfect, and I've been mistaken for a native speaker on a few occasions. The main thing that I notices is that colloquialisms escape me, because I don't live in an english-speaking country. Since most of my stories are not set in the contemporary world, that is not an issue. When I write a short story set in modern-day america, this deficit is probably more visible.

You can find groupings such as critters.org around the Internet, where you can post your stories and get feedback. This should help to get not just writing but also language issues out of the text.
