Curiosity...How did y'all decide your scree names?

[IBKleen]

Some people have obvious screen names. For example "IWantToGetClean2015" kinda speaks for itself and others have names and numbers and I wonder what they are all about. If you want to share the meaning of your screen name I would love to hear it.

I think my screen name speaks for itself but there is a little story behind it. I found this site in the back door way through a google search in august of 2007. I came in through some long, old post as many of us do and I did not realize where I was. A member who is no longer active guided me to start my own post and I did. I was weaning off of Suboxone at the time and did not consider myself clean. I was also using my real name as my screen name. I was telling some people at meetings about the site and then I decided I didn't want them to know who I was on here so I asked MedHelp if I could create another screen name. they said yes and the first day that I did not take my Suboxone (my first day clean) I created the screen name I have. But the problem with it is that I can't use because the name just wouldn't work anymore. You don't know how many times the name has kept me clean...So anybody else got a story?????

As IBK I came in to MH through google when I was trying to find help on how to quit oxycontin cold turkey. So my first post was quitin oxys and neeed help. I was feeling so bad that day my spelling was not so great so  I just combined quitin & oxys  hence quitinoxys was born.

Vicki thank you for keeping this thread going in memory of IBK our great friend. RIP IBKleen you are sorely missed---Rick

I would like to carry this POST on in the memory of IBK may she RIP.

I almost posted the same question a couple of yrs back. To this day I am always thinking of new ones. I would of liked to have been "Wildflower" becasue I come for the 50s-60-70s when it was all Peace, Love, Hippies and Flowerpower, etc. I also like "AboutFaith" now that I have 3yrs coming up, and had SO many Changes go on.

I too had 3 months in when I found this site. I was still sick with high Anxiety and still no Sleep. I came in as "vvic" which is my name Vickie and V in my last name. I had many nick names like Mooselips, Mountain-mama, Victoria ans so forth.. EvolverU and a few were PMing me as I was trying to find a new name like MsGunsmoke or such. They are the ones that came up with VIC- for Vickie and Courageous because of the 3 meds I just stopped at a semi high dose. So that is it and I am sticking to it!!!

I MISS U IBK!!!

[my_mayberry]

When I created mine, I was in a very dark space. I also had a thing for the simple beauty of the Andy Griffith show...how perfect the entire town was. Safe.

Naturally, nowhere is really like Mayberry, but this place came to represent it for me. It was my only rock to grab hold of in a hurricane.
