Oh it was definately the latter... *thwack*
I remember walking up to my daughter's school when I noticed that everything looked different. clearer, sharper, more lucid. And then it hit me, that the internal experience matched the external perception. Everything was clearer, brighter....
And it is interesting that the clarity vastly exceeded that of which I would previously have associated with sobriety. It wasn't enough not to drink alcohol to experience it, I had to not to have drunk alcohol for weeks.
