Latest update. Not puking. I do feel a little light headed but more like that feeling when you can't get to sleep aka me last night. Little shaky weird feeling in the AM more like the lack of sleep again. Def the anxiety going on. No desire so far to drink for pleasure. No shakes. 2 maintenance light beers.
If you are off for the weekend, that's three days, is it?
I have to say, I was shaky for a good week after quitting. I agree that food (specifically sugar) helps a lot. Keep food at your desk.
It's going to take some time, you're not to going to feel magically better as soon as you quit. That is the price of admission to alcohol dependency.
I didn't get a good night's sleep for about three weeks. Just stay the course, deal with the anxiety at work and know that anything is temporary, it will pass.

I walked to the store to get supplies and felt a little off but mostly just sleep deprived. I followed someone's advice and got a chocolate bar and Gatorade. Instead of doing a maintenance beer I ate that and drank Gatorade and it did the trick
...and, yes! We cross posted
That's how I got through early days, too. Lots of food, lots of carbs.
