No apologize needed Mike! Not for a bit! It’s ok to ask. I’m just not confortable with this tattoo and I do not want to see it as a part of me. So I do not look at it and I do not show it to others.
When it’s fixed I show it to you, promised! And maybe then I show you the before as well. I have to see how I feel about it by then

I definitely understand, I am so scared to do that to a client. But that’s why I triple check make sure they like it and show them design in the mirror several times move critique the stencil as much as possible. Me myself 
my arm is tore up and my legs because idk I’m just own my practice canvas I’ll test different methods on my arms and legs to see what works and figure out give and motions. I’m currently blacking out my left arm and it hurts so bad, so it looks goofy bc I haven’t finished it and them I’m going to do some white out tattoos over time. I’m sure the artist will figure something out for you. We are creative and always want to make sure you are happy. And actually I fibbed I have had two unhappy clients one was my fault and the other was poor after care but of course I got blamed for it . Sorry for detailing the thread much love, I’ll stop talking about tattoos now

Aww thank you.
You are also very inspiring. I’m not an old timer yet. But it helps me to have new people on here. And remember I don’t want to start over. Just ODAAT. You new guys keep us sober more than you’ll ever know.

Thank you Claudia. Appreciate all your support. Just selling that Cali condo for now. It served its purpose. End of an era for us. I’m going to miss it. We’ll see what happens.

Good morning on day 8 
The weekends stress me more about drinking, it has always been this way. It’s because I’m bored.
Luckily there is SO much laundry and stuff in my apartment to do that at least til 8pm I won’t get bored. And then? I’ll pretty sure come here today and tomorrow more often and chat with you guys bc it helps me.
I start to think about how drinking will make me feel. Not good at all. Shakiness, headache and malnutrition. And I don’t want that.
I’ll stay in bed 15 more minutes now to scroll and read on here.
Have a beautiful sober and strong day team

Day 578
Sobriety isn’t being all rainbow glitter and unicorn farts right now. Struggling to be calm and kind. And still hoping WW3 doesn’t break out, and feeling guilty about how I have already kinda got used to the awfulness of the news.

I feel you.
People are losing jobs over here bc the gas prices are so high. Supermarkets have not as much stuff as they used to, empty shelves here and there. And Covid is still pretty much there but mask mandates end next week.
It’s overwhelming.
But us 2 using our drug of choice, how would that help and better the situation? I think this is the question we need to ask.
Sending hugs your way 🫂

Like @BroccoliHighKicks said, show her what you wrote here. She needs to know exactly how you feel about this.
All the best to you

Day 13 everyone! Almost to that two week mark. Feeling good today. I can tell my energy levels are starting to be on the rise these past few days. Emotions are still up for grabs every now and then, but overall feeling good. Got some relaxing things planned for today to help keep me in good spirits today.
@Dazercat Congratulations on 800 days!
