Trying to be sober

I been using alcohol to cope with my ptsd and my anxiety. I know that’s a unhealthy way to cope so I decided to quit my alcohol drinking. I went to my first meetings this week it has help but to be honest I was scared to quit because of the withdrawals and because of my anxiety. Well it took me the whole week to have the guts to quit and today is my first day sober. Today I felt some of the withdrawals my anxiety came and go, I was sweating on and off, I was agitated, shaky hands, and I don’t feel like eating. Right now I feel a little better after the long bath. But I am scared to go to sleep because I always have a drink before going to sleep because if not I will be stuck on my thoughts all night. My question: any ladies that can relate. Do the withdrawals get worse in the next few days. I really don’t want take medication for my sleep. Any natural remedies that I can take. Also, can you please send me some positive vibes some encouragement words something that it will make feel that I could this something that will take my mind off of alcohol because I really want to stop so I could deal with my anxiety the healthy way. It can be anything. Thank you ladies.
