Thanks for tagging meā¦ Yay congrats on your one yearā¦I personally wouldnāt get any dates you just never know and next thing you know youāre looking for a cover up.
But a sobriety quote is definitely an awesome idea, or whatās really helped you along your journey of sobriety? A.A? N.A?, Jogging, gym anything like that at all been a big part. Also I would say when you do come up with some ideas throw them at your artist. find an artists style that you like and give them some room to be creative with ideas you give them and let them know itās a sobriety piece, Iām sure they will come up with something amazing. Iād say id love to design it for you but most tattoo artist wonāt tattoo other artist work they would rather make it their own.

Anyway. Not do derail. @SobrietyForMe checking in is good. Gonna send some resources and old-timer inspiration your way. Since you like old ppl lol

I wanted a tattoo to remind me of my recovery as well but didnāt dare to choose my date. A ānormalā numbered date like 18-09-2018 would give questions about it. The Roman numbers would give less questions but I have had a rlapse after a sober stretch of 5 years so a date is tricky. What if I relapse again?
So since a few year I have the latin name of a āBlauwe Knoopā flower. In the early days there was a group of people who where sober and called themselves from the āBlauwe knoopā
This days it is a Dutch saying if someone doesnāt drink: he is from the Blauwe Knoop.
But again I do not like questions so I choose the latin name.
And that I have tattoed on my arm.
I also was thinking about 0% but again that is a bit to obvious.
Still happy with my chosen ink 
What I did is make a album on my phone and collect all the tattoo ideas in it. After a while you get rid of the ones you do not like after all.
I do so with every tattoo I have.
Good luck with finding yours!!

That is awesome, like it lots.
Is that Crib Goch in your profile picture ?
Maybe a branch with a leaf on it and every year of sobriety you can add another leafā¦eventually becoming a tree.

Not necessarily a sober tattoo but these baseball stitches have been on my arm for a while now and they remind me of years in my life. I can count them and think about where I was and what I was doing how I was living. Being back in the game is actually another facet of why I quit drinking. I canāt be the best coach for my players if Iām drinking. They count on me to be my very best everyday.
