You are right where you should be at two weeks. It's tough. We're through the withdrawals but the mental wrangling with our addictive voice is tiring. We know a drink will shut it up, and it's so tempting. So tempting to promise ourselves "Just this little bit, and I'll get right back on the wagon."

Here's the thing about one or two beers. Few of us are here, in recovery, because we drink one or two beers. We trick ourselves into thinking we will, but if we could, we'd be normal drinking and not posting to a recovery site.

One of your first posts was about how you came to SR a year ago and determined you weren't ready. Then came back. Now here you are, with almost two weeks under your belt. Do you really want to go back where you were a year ago? Negotiating with your addiction.

One last word about your mind telling you, "one or two" This forum loses a lot of people every day. Usually after they've had "one or two." Some come back. Many don't.

Don't risk being the one that can't come back. I quit for a couple months back in 1997. Decided I wanted a beer. Had a 22 oz Icehouse. Then another. Then drank for 13 more years.

Be strong. You can do this.
