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.
