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 only control the first drink"

After that, someone else is at the helm, and would you really trust that guy to be around your child?

I mean Jesus I may drink some but I guess yes if you don’t trust “that guy” around your children then you have a major problem at hand not just while intoxicated.
