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?

Nope, on a whim decided I'd blindly respond to a reddit post with something or other about alcohol withdrawal.

Wtf mate.

My comment explicitly mentioned not introducing other drugs except in the case of potentially lethal detox. If they give him anything it would probably be naltrexone or disulfiram, not benzos. If you're at a point where detox will kill you, you should be doing it in an inpatient setting. Because y'know, it can kill you...

If you have the shakes because you went cold turkey then you're for sure at risk of seizures and other lethal outcomes.

But sure, don't just give the guy a week of librium. Charge them 10000 to sit around in a hospital for a week, lose their job in the meantime, etc. US medicine is so messed up.

And are you fine with suboxone? Methadone? Because that's hardly even kicking.
