Taking Time Off For Me

I have been working hard, struggling to get my revisions done.  I almost turned down an invitation to go visit, and celebrate New Years with my sister and her family in Lake Arrowhead.  I have decided to put everything on hold, for just two days!  I am taking my nephew with me, and we are going to relax and have fun!  My mother told me, "All work and no play, makes Susie a dull girl!"  Well, dull is what I will never be, but I understand.  I am spending some time away from the computer, just a little time, and I am going to have fun for me!  I wish you all a Happy New Year! I wish you all love and happiness!  I wish you all the strength to overcome your temptations!  You can do it! Anything is possible!

An Addict by Nature

Some people are just born to be an addict.  There is that certain something in our brains, that attracts us to the excitement and thrill of the unknown.  An addict can not live within moderation.  We basically have no concept of what is too little, or what is too much.  We either go all the way, or not at all.  If we exchange our negative behavior with positive actions and behavior, we can be addicted to that as well. Some addicts will stop using one drug, and switch to the next.  This is just replacing one bad habit with another.  If we have the ability to do that, then we have the ability to become addicted to something good.  Something like a healthy lifestyle, with exercise and eating right.  We will most likely take it to the extreme, but in all reality, it is better than the former habit.  Some addicts will stop abusing drugs, and become addicted to work.  Still, that is better than the former habit. Some things we can change, and some we we have to adapt to.  The bottom line

Book Revisions

Books 1 and 2 of the Sweet Melissa memoir series have been revised and are now available on Amazon.com.  The series is inspiring and hopefully it will reach someone who really needs it.

Having Faith With Gut Feelings!

I have been through a lot in my life, and I usually sabotage any opportunity for success. This time , I am going to follow the advise of successful professionals, and just have faith, and follow my gut. If you feel something in your gut, give it your all. Never give in to a gut feeling. It is always right! Do not go against what your gut tells you! This sounds kinda funny doesn't it? Gut, Gut, Gut!, but you know what I am saying, don't you? The feeling you get when your inner self is telling you something.  Some call it your conscience. Some say it is God. Some doctors may even say it's schizophrenia! Whatever it is, follow it! You wont be sorry!:))))))LOVE, PEACE, and HAPPINESS-susie

Book 4 Done!

Book 4 of the Sweet Melissa series is done, and available now. I am working on Book 5, which may be the last of the series, but I am not sure yet! There may be 6. I am also working on a fictional book for the young adult, about eating disorders. It is about a young girl in the fashion and modeling world, who becomes bulimic. Although the book is fictional, it is based on a true story! Check out my Sweet Melissa series! Love, peace, and happiness to all!-susie  amazon.com/author/susansegoviamunoz

Do I love myself?

Some days it is so hard to write. I come across certain subject matter that brings me directly back to that moment. I heard that in recovery, you are truly healed when you can read your story and not cry. It is hard, and yes, many tears have been shed, so I guess I am not fully recovered. All I know is that I am not in that same place, I am somewhere new. That was the past and I must forgive myself, learn from my mistakes, and move on. I take things in moderation as recommended by my mother, such as advise,and actions. I love my life, but do I love myself yet? I am still learning and that's a smart thing to do! Never ignore advise from those who have been there...Love, Peace, and Happiness to all...

Self-Publishing and Marketing your Book

It is hard, and I am absolutely no expert! My memoir series Sweet Melissa is actually doing better than expected at this point. I am three books into the series, and I am going to stop wasting so much time on social media, and continue to write more books. I heard this from an expert, and that was the advise I was given. Just keep on writing! So, book four of the Sweet Melissa series will be out soon. The subtitle is "Destination Unknown". It is a continuation as are all my books in this series. The series is an inspirational read about overcoming adversity. Yes, it took me many years to recover from  addiction and abuse, but the bottom line is, I did overcome! I believe anyone can. With a strong mind, hard work, perseverance, and faith in the man above, anything is possible! Love, Peace, and Happiness
Book Four of the Sweet Melissa Series will be at soon and available on Amazon!!! Keep your eyes open! Love, peace, and happiness to all!

I want to be an inspiration, not an embarrassment!

Writing a memoir exposes a person to the world. It is like running around naked for a while, until the story is absorbed. There will be critics and judgments, but by putting your life on paper, it does cleanse the soul in a way. I have nothing to hide. I am proud of myself and my accomplishments. I endured pain and suffering, that was all self brought on. I want to be an inspiration, not an embarrassment. I will continue to write my series, and if it helps even one person, my job is done! LOVE,PEACE, and HAPPINESS to all!

Book Three Out Soon!

Just to let you know that the third book of the Sweet Melissa series will be out soon! It is called Sweet Melissa: Behind Bars It will be available on Amazon and soon the series will be available on other sites as well!

Just a little excerpt from Sweet Melissa:Ignorance is not Bliss

It was a very busy day.  I had many sessions and I was very tired but there was no way I wasn’t going to meet Deanna that night.  So, I told Mistress Tonya that I was going out for awhile and that I would not be too late.  She told me that she was hoping that I would work both shifts as long as I was going to be staying there. I told her that I would work when I got back from the club, and I promised her that I would work both shifts any other night for as long as I stayed with her.  She was not too happy, but gave in and I was out the door. I walked to the club since it was not too far away.  I got to the club and looked around.  I saw Deanna on the other side of the dance floor so I walked over to her.   She smiled when she saw me and I knew she had good news.  She told me she had found an apartment for us over on Winona.  That was not too far at all from Mistress Tonya’s place, just a couple blocks.  We had an appointment to view the apartment the next day at 3:00.  I would be ther

Book Two out soon!

Sweet Melissa is going to get into a lot more trouble in the upcoming book! I do hope you all have had the chance to read Sweet Melissa:Ignorance is not Bliss Book One. This is a memoir series and I think that you will love it! So far I have gotten some excellent reviews, and I am awaiting yours. Remember, I am here to help, as I have been down this dark road of self destruction! Love to all-Sweet Melissa

Little by Little

Well, sales of my new book are not going quite as fast as I would like, but the sales and reviews I am getting are simply amazing! I am getting messages that the series should be made into a movie or a TV series, and you know what? That would be a dream come true! Not only would it be entertaining, but it would also help so many people suffering from addictive disorders. I am a dreamer, and one day God willing, my dream will come true! All it takes is to get in the hands of the right person! OK right person, where are you? Love you all, best of life to everyone, and check out my book while you are out relaxing and need a little something to keep your mind occupied and entertained! ***Sweet Melissa***

Drug abuse and addiction

     Drug abuse and addiction disorders, are a disease and should therefore be taken very seriously.  Instead of locking people up in prisons and jails, society needs to come to some kind of arrangement where the addict can get help. No addict needs temporary help. Addiction is a life long disease with absolutely no cure. Sure, addicts do go into remission,but chances of falling back into the cycle of drug abuse is more common than not. The addict is a slave to the drug, and is willing do what what he/she needs in order to support their habit.     I am introducing my first book "Sweet Melissa:Ignorance is not Bliss Book One, in order to help and guide the potential addict in what not to do. Everyone always has a solution on what you need to do to stop using drugs, but I have gone about things a bit differently, and would like to show you what not to do.  Eventually, addiction will lead to death unless you get yourself under control. If you do not die, there will be times you wis

I am here to help!

Hello everyone! This is the first post on my new blog. I was going to just advertise for my new book that just came out, Sweet Melissa:Ignorance is not Bliss Book One, but I have decided to open myself up to each and every one of you that may need some kind of help or guidance in the situation of addiction. I have plenty of experience in this. I did not get it through school or through a book. I got my knowledge through life's experiences and my many downfalls. I am here for you today and always.
