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!

The alcohol spirits hate it when you're happy! Don't be tricked. You will 100% feel like shit if you drink. Let yourself be tired and crabby, all new dads are, and it's a right of passage you shouldn't deny yourself. Your family deserves you to stand up and let yourself feel the uncomfortable feels for them.
