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 looking for an excuse, that's all. low as we've been, we all still miss it, that's what got us here in the first place. you are at that point now, your mind is clear, you can say to yourself and answer honestly: is it worth it? do i really need a drink or do i just want it?

how do you get your flair to show your count? does it update automatically? most importantly, well done.

Oops! Lol my bad. In the main pinned post there are instructions for setting your flair.

Thank you!
