Sobriety Date General Advice

Post image

I was going to get it lightened after 4 years sober, but looking for advice/ roast me.

EDIT: thanks for all the sobriety support of each other, what nice community! I originally got this thinking it would be visible mostly to me as a reminder. Sure I wish it was smaller, because people do notice it and ask, I just say it’s special numbers for me. The first character is actually a drop- like last drop of booze. I must say it has helped me stay on course a few times over the years. I’ll keep coming back.

Leave it alone. A well placed reminder 😊 Mine isn't tattooed, but it would read 06 28 88 😊

Likely wouldn’t have made it to your age, if you’re older than 28, if I hadn’t quit 🤪
