Welcome tragicoolbus!

I can only tell you that I quit multiple times and that there were similarities in withdrawal-symptoms, but also differences. For instances, on my last quitting attempt (some year ago) I had night sweats too, but this time (nine weeks and counting) I haven't had any. Insomnia's the same: I've had it on some attempts but not really this time.

Don't doubt your own judgement, you know what you feel. And congratulations on deciding to live a sober life. I've kinda always wanted to quit like you did: wake up in the morning, know it's over and not look back. Unfortunately my experiences have more in common with pushing over a Coke-machine: a lot of rocking back and forth first (yeah I stole that from a Seinfeld episode hehe). I hope it stays turned over now.

Good luck with the symptoms, they will vanish!
