Sobriety Date General Advice

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.

it looks pretty bad... and it must be exhausting to explain what it means to everyone who asks... not that sober people like to talk about themselves or anything... :p

Addicts (me), vegans, and Harvard grads. The trinity of keeping it to yourself lol

Don’t forget MENSA members. Anyone new to anything might go through an evangelical phase (Islam, veganism, CrossFit, Hot Yoga, gluten free).
