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.  |
