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

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 A member who is no longer active guided me to start my own post and I did.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?????

My name kind of speaks for itself...I was so desparate when I came on here, I wanted a name that would remind me that I couldn't go through this again.  So "NeverAgain" just popped into my head.   127 is part of my birthday.

Great thread!

Calamity Jane...I love it! My mom used to call me "Gravel Gurdy". She would say I looked like her when my hair and clothes were out of place. I didn't find out for years who she was and when I did it was really a blow to me. That woman was a mess!!! lol
