Not obvious at all. I think it makes people chuckle.. and think.. I like that. No hidden meaning or message.. just kind of fun to say. (GuywithEye was my next choice) 
Maybe GuyWithStyInEyeDon'tMakeMeCryEatAFryBeforeYouDieMe OhMy?

Ha. Thats funny GWP. I am a bit naive and was sure I was not "getting" the real meaning. Keep talking about your cravings. It helps me when I have them. And when I talk about them they lose their power over me.

Great thing too. I had someone from this board leave me a private message that is from my community. He started SR a couple months ago and needs some help as well. 2 clear heads are better than one.
One interesting side note. I'm not going to tell my wife I'm going to quit again. Not because I feel like I would disappoint her.. I want to do this for me this time. Last time it was more for her which I think is why I failed. Things got rocky for us a little bit and I hit the bottle. Now our relationship is doing pretty well so it's a good time to start. Posting on the board is a butt kicker for me because it is my a committal point to me.
I think I'll be posting often as I did with my last sober stint.
Keep it Real!

Good to see you, Guy. I remember you and I, too, am back again after giving in.
Seems like you and I are lucky enough to be getting back up with the help of lots of SR friends. :ghug3

Hi GWP, I'm so glad your back with us. I also relapsed after a 100 days. It was real scary telling my AA friends and nothing happened like i thought would. My silly little head.
What ever way you choose to get sober just don't give up. You only have to stay in today.

Crazy.. what's up with this 100 day mark? I've had a few friends on here say they relapsed right after 100 days.. maybe we think we have it licked at that point.. yuck.. Got a long way to go for 100 days.. I'm on Day 2 today. I did get rid of my stash, without even taking a wiff. Man I had a lot more than I thought.. some whisky, Grand Marnier, some jager and a couple beers.
I had to throw them in the garbage like jumpin in a cold lake.

Today was rough. I nearly broke down a few times. I had nearly talked myself into starting again tomorrow but I made it through. If I remember correctly, the toughest part for me the last time I went clean was the first couple of weeks. If I can make it through that, I'll be alright.
I'm grumpy.. and irritated.
