My friend described me as 'tremulous' when I first got sober, cause I still had the shakes. I hated that word at the time, but now I use it often when talking about myself.

The shaking and sweating did all go away, probably within the first week or two everything sorta settled down. By the end of 30 days I was feeling fairly normal physically. Everybody is different and you should consider seeing your DR if you have any concerns at all - detox can be nasty business (even deadly from what I've read).

As to everything else, it's like the physical symptoms, with time and a good recovery plan things begin to get better. Life still happens but it happens and we are there to experience it and deal with it as sober, mostly rational , people.

Glad you found us here and welcome!
