Day 1 (Part: II) Also, can't tell if withdrawal, or hangover.

I started drinking again at the airport, because I had 4 hours to kill waiting around the terminal before my flight left. I basically had a few drinks at the airport, and I've been drinking pretty much ever since (a couple weeks). This is so frustrating. I had a great trip sober, but as soon as I get back, it's back to the bottle.

Could I have withdrawal symptoms, or am I just hungover?

Nausea
Trembly (only when I try to do things with my hands)
Really "out of it"
Vertigo
Sweating
Depression

It's been about 14 hours since the last drink (I had 5 standard drinks last night..down from about 10 on a regular night). I can't tell the difference between a simple hangover, and minor withdrawal though. I don't want to go out with a friend tomorrow if I'm going to be hallucinating giant flies and so on. I have a history of severe withdrawal symptoms, so not sure if it's even possible for me to just have a hangover.

Has anyone else been fine after just a couple weeks of nightly heavy drinking?

Any other advice would also be great. I hate what this has done to my life. I don't even recognize myself anymore.
