I am a lawyer who drank 6-10 drinks almost every night after work for 20 years. I am now 20 months sober.
Since getting sober, I find that my stress level (which I initially thought was caused by work) is much lower. Getting sober didn't make my job more satisfying. It just made it less stressful and, probably, easier, since I am not hungover like I often was while drinking. Sobriety hasn't made all of my problems go away (like periodic job/career satisfaction). But it has made a whole lot of other problems go away.
Feel free to send me a PM if you would like to swap stories or if you think I can offer any guidance.
Good luck. I am glad you are here with us.
