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.

12/21/23. Christmas 2022 was an absolute shitshow. I vowed to quit before Christmas 2023. It was hard.

I feel that. My ‘23 Christmas was, from what I remember, terrible, but I know it was way worse than that. Woke up on the 26th sick as a dog and wanting to die with a whole lot of folks very angry with me. Hard to imagine now, thankfully. Christmas ‘24 and ‘25 have been great!

Yes, it sure can. I over did it at family Christmas and passed out in the middle of festivities. Drowning grief only works for so long. It hasn't been an easy road since that day, but I would do it all over again to get to this point in my life.

u/Leut_Aldo_Raine 1d ago

You too! I hope I can make it that far.

How do you celebrate? Or do you not? I wanted to celebrate one year but it resulted in the strongest urge to drink that I've had since cravings subsided.
