Hi Darlad, Funny you should say you are an anxious person. I was too, and after 3 months, my anxiety had disappeared and I had a new found confidence. Look, I am 5 days in on my second attempt, and the shakiness lasts about two days, the night sweats have gone and I am sleeping a bit better. Still getting cravings but I drank very heavily (up to 4 bottles of wine a day). You sound like a motivated person, so if I can do it, so can you! I read somewhere that you should see sobriety as a gift not a punishment. That's what I'm focusing on. Stick with it :-)
