What does your user name mean?

I've seen so many cool names on the boards - and was wondering - what does yours mean, and where did you come up with it?

I read a cool book by Anne Rice a few years ago - The Witching Hour - and the primary character is a cool young woman named Rowan.

It was some time before I realized that Mr. Bean is Rowan Atkinson. Not so cool!

I am like many codependents who get here... naming myself after my qualifier!

It was my younger sister's meth addiction that first brought me here, though it was my own sweet little daughter's meth addiction six month's later that brought me back and took me down.

I am a big girl...very tall, and the oldest child in my family of origin, so the name still fits.

(...oh and both my sis and my daughter are sober today.)

((Rowan)) Thanks for asking!

One of my hobbies is amateur astronomy, and it's also the alias I use when I play paintball.

Mine comes from the old fable about Good King Midas, who was blessed with a curse from the Gods. The sap with the golden dunce-cap turned everything to gold--including his scrumptious food, and even his wife!

"All that glimmers is not gold, for it has turned to rust..."

I'm Scaredykat- because fear is my middle name and because of my love for cats. All sizes even the exotic big cats.

leviathon, actually leviathan... taken from a greek myth, a mythical larger than life creature of the sea... everything I do seems to be larger than life ... at least that is what everyone tells me after they hear my story and what I have done in spite of it. I am also a fairly large man.

Mine is like this.....

God holds me still in the eye of the storm as long as I choose

each day to be clean and sober.....

However...I , by choice...can turn at any 360 degree angle and reenter

chaos and destruction by picking up a drug or a drink.

I trust Him to hold me in sobriety safe and still and calm....

in the center...the eye.


Love,



Sherry
