I chose this picture of this bird for my avatar because He is completley out of it. I took this picture shortly after the bird flew straight into a window. he was dazed, couldn't stand, crossed eyed, and probably nausious.
I chose this because it is a reminder to me that I never want to feel that way again, and after a few drinks I would hit that same window (Metaphorically speaking of course). Actually it was probably just a matter of time before I actually walked into a window. (Picture this, everyone laughing, drinking, Heavy turns and says, "Hey Ya'll Watch this" and SLAM! Into the window I go...

Anyone want to share about their avatar??

Every time I see that bird I will think 'probably nauseous', lol.

Can't explain my avatar I change it too often and I think I am due for a change soon.

...mine has changed twice since I posted it!
Still enjoying summertime.

Mine is the Velveteen Rabbit - who got his fur all loved off. I want to feel that way.

My avatar describes me.
I have a hard time thinking about just one thing at a time. My mind is busy. So out of the blue I will say what I am thinking, and my teens will say "that was random", but no- I just have alot of thoughts.
Things really get interesting when I am in a "fibro fog", brought on by fibromyalgia. The things I say then are completely random and make no sense. :chatter

mine is exactly true in what it says.

Hey HeavyJ - First of all, that's a great picture! I love your thinking behind it and I agree with Chiy, he looks pretty pissed off - and I like that - getting fired up about sobriety is very important to me in my recovery.

As for my avvie- I am a farmer, and my husband will be retiring from the police force in about seven months and will be joining me full time on the farm then. We have a very small farm, and only grow enough "people" food for ourselves and the food pantry where we volunteer. The rest is animal chow. But "hats off" - BIG TIME - to the guys who are feeding our country and the world, when, as one of my favorite country singers Jason Aldean says it, "diesel's worth the price of gold and grain's the cheapest he's ever sold".

Thanks for sharing! Jomey

I recently moved across the country to start over. The people I've met are who I work with, and outside work - I really don't have anyone to talk to. (in person) So mine may have been someone joke about people who spend too much time on the computer, but to me it's true. All my friends live in it - it's the only way I can keep in touch with people back home, and it's especially true now that I found this site.

My alter ego!!!! I have a tatoo of Taz on my right arm, Taz has not made an appearance since I got sober, but he is still there...... some where just lurking, sitting right beside my alcoholism, waiting for me to let my spiritual condition to weaken if I chose to let it do so.
