Fell off the Wagon Again -- Question re Withdrawal

So I had successfully detoxes (medical), and within 3 weeks had a drink while traveling for business. Then I was sober for another couple of weeks, and then for the past week or so, I have been drinking every day. Not nearly as much as I used to (and not in the mornings) but some of the hallmarks of prior drinking have returned. The waking up with racing thoughts and anxiety. Some light sweating (but I think that is anxiety related).

I am determined not to go back, and I simply cannot drink anymore. I am, however, worried about having withdrawals. Last drink I had was last night about 8 pm. So about 14 hours ago. All I have had is some anxiety and nausea (which I think is anxiety-related). But I am hoping it does not get worse.

Anybody have experience with drinking again, quitting, and NOT having physical withdrawals? And yes, I am going to go to an AA meeting this evening.
