No, for as long as you feel you can stop with no effort you should not experience severe symptoms of withdrawal.

A strong will can overcome most habits. A drink at night or after work and no driving problems is fine. Two drinks with food is also ok. Try to drink soda or juices and don't try to take any medications without medical advice. Cutting back to weekends is a good start.
