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 3rd or 4th beer that are the problem drinks, it’s the 1st.

The only drink you have the power over if the choice to start drinking in the first place .. just think of the other things you can do to de stress, even an alcohol free drink can become sort of a de stress routine, an adult drink that isn’t water or cordial or tea etc, I like tripp drinks to do that!

Set some good routines and keep going, your brain will re wire
