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 is, that if we put all our negative energy into something positive, we can and will be successful.  We have that power.  With hard work, perseverance, and the support of others, we are capable of achieving our wildest dreams.

Be strong.  Dream big.  Never give up.  All is possible.  Have faith, and live your life to the fullest.

The American Opioid Epidemic and Mental Illness

Someone Like Me-Is there a connection between addiction and mental illness? I say there is! Some people say that addiction is a choice, but I know for a fact that it’s not. Mental illness plays a big part in a persons decision making process and lifestyle choices. I am now in the middle of writing my 7th book and I will explain in detail how my chemically imbalanced mind thinks and reacts.  Well, at least how mine did before treatment anyway! Sure, I am no pro and I am not a doctor, but I have a genuine real life experience and a story to tell. I hope that you will open your mind to the possibility, or shall I say the reality, that addiction is indeed a disease and not a choice.

Behind Blue Eyes

Book Seven will be out soon! I have an editor now and everything is going as planned, just a bit behind schedule. I am going to expose a certain something that I didn’t intentionally leave out of my other books. I think that you will find it interesting and as always, I hope to inspire and help at least one person.

My Name is Susie and I’m a Comma Addict

Editing a manuscript is like editing your life! Search for the mistakes and fix them! Book One of The Sweet Melissa Memoir Series has been revised!  No worries! I’m sure it has plenty of commas stuck in the wrong place! It also has dialogue and a more descriptive value including what? EMOTION,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,#Recovery #Adiction #OneDayAtATime If you need to hire an editor/life coach then do it!  If you’re stubborn like me and you want to do it alone, then be prepared for the criticism. Go through the pages of your manuscript/life one word at a time.  Find an easy flow. Don’t make it complicated with terms you don’t understand and ask for help when you can.  There’s one thing I’ve found to be true, and that’s putting comma’s in the right place.  I habitually overuse them .  I guess they are my “NEW DRUG of CHOICE” and sometimes I follow my own rules of punctuation. If I need a pause or a break, I shove one in!  I am a comma addict, but I’m
