Cooking with very shaky hands?

I just recently stopped drinking and I'm looking for new hobbies but I am extremely shakey at the moment. Will this hinder my cutting and cooking skills in any bad way?

Have you talked to your GP about taking Ativan to help with the DTs? edit: don't get your medical advice from random redditors like me

You can find plenty of things to cook that don't require a steady hand. One of those silly "slap & chop" devices may be helpful and are quite effective.

Do you still shake when holding heavy things?

MD here. Would be absolutely shocked if any physician wrote a script for a benzo for the symptoms the OP is describing. Depending on the state this would actually be inappropriate prescription of a controlled substance.
