Welcome Guy, and congrats on 3 years! This is a great community, and I'm sure you'll have a lot of wisdom to impart with your experience remaining sober.

You might also want to check out some of the One Year and Over discussions over in the Newcomer's Supports Threads section of the site.

Nice!

Go to TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting

Choose file - it needs ideally to be in your documents already

Resize - webite/email

Upload Now!

Then it'll ask you to copy a couple of words

Wait a couple of seconds and it'll give you a few lines of code - choose the one that says something like "message boards and forums" - click and copy the code, and paste it into your post.

Easy! Shout me if you get stuck...

stillsleeping · 05-26-2012, 11:57 PM

Oh crap - I didn't read your post properly. Doh! The above will work for putting pics in regular posts like this one - I don't know about as your avatar. Give it a go, and email one of the admin guys if it doesn't work - you'll find a link on the forums page. And post a pic here in the meantime - I want to see

Sounds like you work it...That's awesome....I don't know what it is about Harley's...I must have 10 of them in my homegroup....A lot of them have them as a second vehicle and ride for fun only. I figure it's something you wouldn't buy for yourself if you were into your drinking....Kind of a nice reward for sobering up.....Glad to have you here and look forward to you sharing your ES&H and your journey with us. Welcome.
