I have been sober for more than 2 years but I have memory problems and tonight I almost took a sip of my sisters wine because I just forgot that I couldn’t, luckily she stopped me I genuinely didn’t remember I couldn’t. I thought that 2 years in I would have been past accidental drinking. I’m terrified everyday that I am going to make a genuine mistake and have something alcoholic and loose my progress. Maybe it shouldn’t be such a big deal, that’s what everyone around me seems to think. But I feel like if I had even one sip I would think “screw it” and go on a bender. Am I alone with this problem?

Nope, not alone
I’m glad you’re telling on yourself. It’s really important to be accountable for yourself. My friend told me when he is offered a drink he says “I’m allergic to alcohol, it makes me break out in felony’s.”
Most people laugh, but sadly, it is true.
Nice job on over two years sober! If you know you don't want it, and won't drink it, I would say that's success!
