The Ciaos Before Becoming Deaf

Divine intervention is what I think about having become deaf late in life. I try to keep positive about being deaf, however none the less, it is still very hard for me. The biggest challenge of being deaf is communication and the realization that I will never in this life time hear anything again. I still have my doubts about my life after having become deaf. What will I do. What can I do. Maybe if I start with what can I do, I will become more hopeful. One thing I can do is learn and apply myself to what ever my interest are. I know that one of my interest is in Computer Programming. Another interest I have is writing in my new online journal. Writing helps keep my mind open to new ideas and new thoughts about how I will achieve my goals in life. Yes. I still have goals and would very much like to see myself in a positive light five years from now.

My life before I became deaf was a life of a having a bit of ciaos. Not only was I working as an Electrician but I also liked to venture out and occupy my extra time with doing drugs. My drug of choice was crack cocaine. I had been doing drugs off and on for fourteen years having started in my twenties. I guess you could say I was one of the lucky ones because my habit was such that I would stop using when my spouse would slowly find out. This went on for seventeen years but by the grace of GOD, I never became a hard core drug user. Drug users often though I was a Cop because I still had a clean and refreshed look about me.  One minute I'm on the drug my spouse would find out then I would quit again. Without going into the gory details of my drug use, I can tell you I've been sober now for four years and I'm never going back to using that dangerous and deadly drug again. And if there are any persons reading this that has an addiction please see: http://www.powerfuladdictions.com and get help. 

You see, with my hearing lose, the drug world is no place to be if you're disabled in any way. Why, because those people could care less and will definitely take advantage of you in ANY way they can. People on drugs are ruthless especially the hard-core drug users. And they are willing to do anything to get their next hit. I know because I was once a drug user myself. This is why I call my hearing loss divine intervention. Here's my secret as to why I may have become deaf.
Honestly in thinking, I'm not ready to reveal to the world about how I may have become deaf. Not yet.

Besides, there's plenty more for me to write about. I hope you'll keep reading. Enjoy.
