Does anyone else get the shakes?

Yeah I have experienced that too.
For me it was worst the first week, the first days when the urges came I literally laid down on the floor feeling the shakes. Had to use every ounce of willpower and tricks to get through, but every time and urge comes and you decide to urge surf, it loses its strength and get weaker and weaker during time. Just hang in there, it will disappear. My urges has decreased a LOT in strength in these 15 days!
Things to do when an urge comes
1. Take a cold shower
2. Take a walk
3. Call a friend
4. Watch a good movie
5. Eat a snack high in glucose. Science has proven that glucose add a short time increase in willpower.
Do something you enjoy, and just surf through the urge man!
Good Luck!

 

Carl Jack just gave you some genuine advice.

I only get the shakes during a relapse or right before I do. My heart beats like crazy too.

I don't plan to experience it again though,

Imagine the urge is like a wave in the ocean, the science of urges is very similar to the motion of a wave. So you are the surfer, just riding on that urge, feel it and see it. And just like a wave, it has its beginning, its peak and its end.. You just got to keep your balance on the board my friend, and it will pass. And after every wave, you get more comfortable on the board..

 

I would describe it as a slight tremble that typically doesn't last too long but I have to really watch it when it's there.

 

Consider yourself lucky that only your hands and arms began to shake, for me its my entire body. It usually happens when I'm about to wake up in the morning or randomly during the day. This first week has been brutal and my urges have been really high the past few hours, but I'm fighting through it.
