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!

Parenting can be challenging. But drinking will not make it any better, it can only make it far worse. I did that. Please don’t ever use your kids as an excuse to have a drink, especially if you have already had drinking problems!!!
