Hey sober friends. I'm thinking about getting a tattoo that has something to do with my sobriety but doesn't scream "I was a drunk" any creative types out there with ideas?

I'm planning on getting one of the cause ribbons that affected my life in the shape of a flower; girly I know lol. Maybe a sunrise- like a new day starts with a sunrise, a new life also starts with one.

It took me 37 years to make up my mind 
and then I did my whole left leg below my knee.
Was thinking about trying to work the aa triangle into something. I like the rising from the ashes idea.

Hmmm. What kind of tattoo style are you considering getting? That could help narrow down what symbolism might work best! Personally, all my tats are traditional style and so that’s what I gravitate towards

My leg is illustrative, but I like the bold colors of neo traditional. I have a bright pink VHS case and yellow cassette tape on leg if that gives you an idea. But I'm pretty open to all styles. Was thinking maybe black and gray for this? I'm all over the place 
The cassette tape sounds so cool and similar to my style 
I say go with something vibrant like that !

Here's a bit of what it looks like 
I got this to remind myself of something an old teacher (RIP Ed) of mine taught me - that we are all “Cups of cosmic consciousness“ it is directly related to my recovery bc my sobriety very much depends on my spiritual condition
