The common theme I am hearing is a version of what I keep preaching.
The only thing you have to give up to blindness is driving.  Everything else 
is optional.  If you can go from
"I can't do it because I can't see"!!!
To:
I can't do it because I don't yet know how to do it with out eyesight"!!! 
You have turned the corner.

Now I technically know that their are other things I can't do besides 
driving, but the concept works.

A major part of my attraction to ham radio, is that nobody needs to know I 
am a blind person, unless I tell them.  Besides, everybody is blind on the 
radio.
