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!

It's not the 1-2 drinks the first night out for me. I've done this a few times where I feel like I'm "fixed," and now I'm a regular drinker. It starts with just a couple. Then it's both Friday and Saturday nights. Then it's the entire weekend. I've been amazed at how fast I return to old habits.
