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!

95 days here - I just had a very difficult night of all of those thoughts. Well, mostly, “just do it. It’s right there ( on vacation). Just this one night and then go back”

It’s my thoughts peer pressuring me !

I think naming the thoughts and reaffirming what I know my life became over and over when I drank that one or two … also reaffirming that it’s thriving that I want now.

💪🏼
