Question Does this sound familiar to anyone? Does it end?

Hi,

I am 26 years old, I work a good job, and have a girlfriend. However, I am worried about my drinking and shaky hands

Background
-Have drank alone on weekend nights since age 14. I drink till I am passed out. I honestly enjoy this.
-Love to drink on weekends with my friends. Usually to excess.
-Last summer, during time off, drank every night for a week or so, this made me want to drink first thing when I got up. I just had this terrible anxiety and shaky feeling and felt the urge to take shots to ward it off.

Now, I am working and only drinking weekends....my life is fine except for that I always have shaky hands. I feel compelled to drink on weekends to get rid of this. It is embarrassing.

If I go 6 to 13 days without drinking, my hands still shake. If I stopped drinking for a few months...or all together, would this go away?

Has anyone else gone through this? I want my hands to not be shaky! Thanks. I am worried.
