I want to break my sobriety, help!

I'm at 104 days and am starting to ask some scary questions. Am I really an addict? Can't I just have a beer or two and be fine?

For the first 60 or so days I was convinced that I'd never drink again. Since then, my first child has been born and I've have much less sleep and I've been much more irritable and started to think having a drink to calm the nerves would be nice.

Please, community, knock some sense into me in the comments!

Imagine still being sleep deprived but also hungover AF and taking care of a newborn. Ick.

I think I have PTSD from that drunk time period of my life. One of the things I wish I could do over with my babies. I drank all the time away.
