Minnie over on the Friends/Family of alcoholics forum started an awesome thread called "OT - ABOUT YOU". The premise of Minnie's thread is that sometimes as family members, we know more about each other's qualifiers than we do about each other.

It got me thinking how folks in recovery identify themselves as "Hi, my name is and I'm an alcoholic" or "Hi, my name is and I'm an addict". So, let's try this...everyone intro themselves (screen names are fine) and tell us one thing about you we won't know, a fun or interesting fact. Or something you are proud of.

I'll start.........

Hi, my name is K and I like to paint.

That made me laugh, Beth! I can't cook very well, either! Between K, Ned and Karim, we should have plenty to eat, though!

Hi,

My name is Anna.

I am book-lover. One of my best memories is getting my first Library card when I five years old. I also love Yoga and it's been a part of my life for years.

Hey, I'm Tyrone, but you can all call me Ty, that's what my friends call me.

I'm a keyboardist. Piano, organ, synthesizer. Yes they all have black and whites, but that's the only similarity.

I've recently dusted my off hardware and software , and I'm embarking on a home studio project, using my PC as a glorified multi track tape recorder.
