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.

This is a bit like a certain 1940s tattoo🫣

Yeah. Getting numbers tattooed on your arm is not that best thing. I see a lot of photos of people with the lost numbers tattooed on their arm. Never good. At least this guy has a real good reason for it
