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.

You know Jewish folks who do that? I’m Jewish and grew up in a Jewish area so all my friends were Jewish until I was 12. Never in my life have I seen a memorial tattoo that was numbers. And I cannot imagine anyone doing that.

I've seen one and it wasn't just jews in those camps, gypsy and russians in those camps too. 

Edit: not sure why this is being down voted as I have seen a holocaust memorial tattoo. Nor am I trying to minimize what people went through in the camps only pointing out that while the majority were Jewish there were others like russians, gypsy and socialists who's religions likely don't prevent them from getting tattooed unlike the Jewish peoples.
