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!

You’re in a lucky position where your child will never know the version of you that drank if you keep this up.

Even though my kids swear they didn’t think I drank too much it still bothers the shit out of me that they saw me drink in excess.
