Could be either: Tremors could certainly come with alcohol withdrawal, and i've also known people whose anxiety showed up that way. It all depends on whether you had been used to drinking and then didn't have access to alcohol for some time. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can begin as early as 2 hours after the last drink, persist for weeks -- ranging from mild anxiety ; shakiness to delirium ; seizures.

DUI: Dui is due to alcohol intoxication in which blood or breath alcohol level is over the legal limit. Shakiness can be due to anxiety. Tremors can be due to withdrawal. Please see a psychiatrist for diagnosis and treatment, and continue to follow with aa and your sponsor.
