Thank you CockneyRebel I had to help myself as I know if I do not have that will power no one can help me until I find it.

Sometimes it is hard for people who don't know how to help themselves or where to turn. Perhaps you could share a little of how you manage to find your will power and this might help some of our members.
Please get involved here as much as you are able, you will be a great asset to our on line family

My will power come from asking for help and taking that first step to fight my first life battle to tell a bit about my first battle over alcohol I've been sober for 33 years now. So what are you summon the willpower help me stop drinking when I found out about 2005 that I was having I problems and cataracts the first cataract operation went wrong I had a retina detachment that was put right left me with no lens in my eye I love eye that 2011 when I had my last cataracts operation which went very well but I started to get the poor me when I can I do this for about a month before my last operation I was blind for one month I realise that nobody could help me if I did not want to help myself and I have to work through that depression and the feeling pour me one of the ways I started to help myself I wrote a short story about my life in the merchant Navy when I Had to do other things to get out my depression reinvent myself some writing about story about my life and getting out there trying to do things finding organisation to help me Thomas Pocklington trust was one of them and The best thing was getting out there helping other disabled people my peers and doing things from yourself and then do things that other people return are helping others people but showing up as what I can do and what they can do they put their mind to it that can-do attitude I think the best showing able-bodied people
that I can do

To be partially sighted, like being out in the sunlight, will someone shine a light in your eyes at night,holding back when someone comes on your blind side, not seeing something in your blind spot,looking like a fool because you are wearing your anti-glare and it's winter,of thinking you can see better from someone fully sighted, doing that bit harder because you have to, not standing out, just being you
