Well, my trembles mostly resolved after about a month and i still find that if i'm tired or stressed, my hands may still shake a tad (at 4.5 months now). I just wanna stress the doctor check up for people in early sobriety. I had bloodwork done after a couple weeks of sobriety and found out that my electrolytes were dangerously out of wack. My potassium was so low that i was asked to go to an emergency room and be seen. I was a petite 31 year old woman and at risk of having a heart attack. All because my body had been so severely dehydrated for so long from my alcoholism. Again, i was 2 weeks out, been drinking Gatorade like a fiend and thought all i had to worry about was my liver. If you can, see a doc. It's much better safe than dead, my friend.
