Default Re: Share your good Coupon Karma story (it doesn't have to be about coupons!!!)

My good fortune has come because I have swallowed my pride and started sharing the story of my past, with joy. I was a "2 gallon of vodka a week" alchi. Functional yes, but I was also a selfish, self-centered and very angry person.

Because I can say these things about myself using the word WAS, I can say them with a genuine smile and with joy I have never known before. I am suppose to share my story. We are suppose to share our stories.

I have recently met several wonderful women. I could have had the normal polite conversation when asked about my family. But no, I told the truth & smiled. I saw the transformation on their faces, the shock, the compassion and then the tears ... they saw themselves in me. I was suppose to share with them.

Trust is a very hard thing and healing requires trust. Connecting with people is a gift. I am blessed with good karma because I have made new friends.

Thank you Jesus.
You're awesome! It takes courage and selflessness to share your story with others. I am a from a very dysfunctional alcoholic family with lots of baggage. Alcoholism is a disease and affects so many people who interact with the alcoholic.

Your sharing helps those who do see themselves in your past and helps them heal and move on.
