Great post capote. At the end of my drinking I too would go to work with a wicked hangover...every day was like a Monday. All the things you mentioned, stomach in knots, anxiety attacks...phew, really brought me back. I still feel so grateful waking up sober and clear headed, no anxiety, no need for visine, no dizziness from dehydration (a possible lingering buzz driving to work). You sound awesome and I am so happy you are really enjoying and appreciating sobriety. The gifts are seemingly endless.
