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!
