Googling alcohol withdrawal symptoms will give you some answers, but withdrawal does manifest itself in unique ways as well. I was terrified to see a doctor and I was drinking a fifth a night. That strange place where you think something could be wrong but you also don't want to go to the doctor to find out that something is wrong. My withdrawals didn't involve ichiness that I've heard others get, but I did feel dried out. I had slight tremors, extreme anxiety, rapid changes in perceived temperature... Hot, cold, hot, cold. Also difficulty sleeping at all the first few days and intense nightmares when I did sleep. I got medical advice. Though it's scary, if you are really questioning whether your drinking is a problem, I would get checked out. Doctors have seen the worst of the worst (including my voluminous drinking), and the relationship is confidential.
