~~~How Did You Come Up With Your Username and What Does It Mean? ~~~

My user name is my third name .Yes I was the only girl so my mom had to slip  in two grandmothers names and one she liked .I am sure you can guess Avis was one of the grandmothers names LOL.

Tell everyone about your user name !!!!

I have always lacked creativity. Couple that fact with a 4+ year daily coke addiction and there you have my username. It was the first thing that worked. I was desperate for someone to see my very first, late-night post and reach out. Thank God they did. I am still here 12 days clean. Struggling like crazy. I hate my username now, but i am not going to change it just yet. Maybe when i hit a month clean and get my reward tattoo that i am looking forward to, i will also graduate to a more positive username.

Well, this could be shocking.....but mine is kind of self explanatory. I was playing on the internet and found this website a long time ago and wanted to answer a question so I just logged in. At the time I did not think I had a "problem" and I never dreamed I would need to come here for such support. Boy was I wrong!!!!

I used to be an amateur radio operator......and I got in trouble (banned) stripped of my license by the FCC  I wouldn't give out my call sign on here.........those can be googled they are public record......not sure about military ones though.  It was not my proudest day when the FCC showed up at my door and confiscated 8 grand worth of radio equipment .....:-(( ~~~~~

Trust me ......you don't want to mess with or **** off the FCC.......I got off easy.

I was also a victim of the ethernet - first handle - 1eagle - morphed into theeagle after a couple of tries.

Mine was a call sign from service days that worked then and I thought now was a good time to use it again.

I was thinking of a name to come up with and was watching a commercial for Downey fabric softner and I thought it described me well. I'm soft and I smell good.

The first time I found this forum I found out my ex-fiance had relapsed on heroin again right before our wedding....I was scared and didn't know what to do and the internet brought me to this forum!  thank goodness, anyhow I was scared to write my real name and really just wanted to be able to chat so I made up my stupid name random.  I'm not scared anymore, my name is Kate!

When I was youner I had the dubious nickname of "Little Savage".  

Over time it gradually just became "Sav"...when I logged on, the software told me "Sav" was taken...so I simply typed it forwards and backwards. "Sav vaS". (Lazy, eh?) :)

Jacqui........Imagine you and me on a road trip with our CB radio.......Oh, lord....would we have a blast.  When you hear about unexplained Jack-knifed Rigs all over U.S. highways.....ya'll know me and jacqi are on our road trip.  I feel kinda silly re-reading that long drawn a$$ story.  It was how I got my Screen Name.....what can I say??  it was funny to me.......in my mind anyway.....lol.  


DominoSarah..........That was good, creative.......funny, reminds me of a story.......hmmm........lol.  When I created a ScreenName for my Mom .....her name is Barbara.......So I named her Barbwire1966........she had to change it, because she kept getting I'ms from strange guys asking if she looked like Pam Anderson.......lol.  

Nauty..........

I wanted to pick a name that was self fulfilling and would bring hope. It is self explanatory, because I am GoingToMakeIt and so are you.

I think mine is self explanatory too.
I felt like all my dreams had been lost, dreams of becoming a successful career woman, a mother, a wife, due to addiction! You know how it goes!!!!
Therefore lostdreams seemed appropriate.
However, the career dream is becoming real now, so i'll maybe change my name to newdreams or something along those lines if the latter falls into place. lol
