The hypomania of early sobriety and getting dumb tattoos
I see this over and over again in recovery , someone who formerly had $75 but now has this big sloppy greenish splotchy thing permanently on there body.
Sometimes I see the pre-contemplation "I am going to get a tattoo! and its going to be so cool and so great ! Yippy !
Then they get the thing and people are like , oh ya man, I like it, really cool . Kind of like when you pull up in that 4cyl Toyota Camry your aunt gave you and you got the windows tinted and maybe some rims. Ya man its cool.
I am just like what the hell, your new in recovery and pasting that "thug life" crap all over yourself is kind of counterproductive don't ya think ?
