Journaling is something I used to do daily, until I became heavily addicted to pain killers. My addiction lasted only a few years and I've been clean & sober since 9.3.04 and still attend recovery meetings.
I lost my hearing, among several things, due to my addiction. It happened quickly over a few months, and I was deaf for a total of 10 months. I received a cochlear implant in Mar. 2005. Since then, I'm re-learning how to hear AND understand everything from everday ordinary sounds to music, and everything in between.
My hopes are to re-discover my love for writing and learn something more about myself and what it is that I really do want with this life I've been given.
