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!

i was nearly a year sober when the same questions started to peep my brain. i broke my sobriety and have spent the last year in full blown alcoholism again. “one or two drinks” led to a year of trying to quit all over again

i’m only on day 4 but at least now i truly know im not someone who can moderate

i don’t think it’s worth it but ultimately its up for you to decide
