One of my many hobbies is amateur astronomy. Yep, I'm a dork with a telescope collection;-) I also use the same name when I play paintball and post in a paintball forum. Funny, but on my astronomy forum my screen name is AzScott since my name is Scott and I live in Arizona. Go figure!

I am 2stop. I chose this screenname in a fog and barely able to think at all. I only knew ONE thing.
I wanted the pain and the insanity....2stop.

My name stands for the way I feel attached to my Meth Clinic and the liquid is how we drink our dose. So therefore Liquidhandcuffs I have on until I am finally off . Recovery will be the key that frees me

Liquid

Like many in the Friends and Families section, I named myself for the person who got me here. Originally, it was my little sister - addicted to meth, pot and alcohol.

Six months later, it was my daughter... but the name was already registered, so I kept it.

PS - Today, both my little sister AND my daughter are sober... and I am soooooo grateful.

I like this thread=) My screen name has nothing to do with New Hampshire. It's about living free from the obsession and compulsion to drink.

I picked the name Rowan after a character in an Ann Rice book.

I hadn't yet heard of Rowan Atkinson aka Mr. Bean! lol

When I first joined I had the user name Aspire because I was aspiring to get clean/sober, a friend of mine from new york sent me a book as a gift in it she wrote " To my first indigo adult" I liked the name read the book and decided that was the name for me.

I took my name from an amazing, life-affirming book by Herman Hesse, about self-discovery. I'd really recommend it if you're feeling down.

I can't post a link yet but you can find info on Wikipedia.
