HEROIN ADDICTION, THE LIFESTYLE, THE RECOVERY 

Like the saying goes, what goes up, must come down. I just wish it did not have to apply to my life all the time. I have always tried to be optimistic, but who was I trying to kid? My life was destined to be one disaster after another, and until I finally made the decision to change my lifestyle in every single way, things would never be any different. 

In the meantime, my life continued to revolve around a circle of ups and downs, existing mainly of downs. How could I have been so oblivious to my situation? Why didn’t I have the strength to just stop, take a good look at my life, and realize what was causing such havoc? 

I was a prisoner of heroin by my own choice. I was locked up, both mentally and physically. I often wondered if there was a key somewhere out there, that one day, would be turned to set me free. I just had not realized yet, that I was the holder of that key. 

In Book Two of the Sweet Melissa memoir series, you will continue on the journey of the author's descent. Her addiction to heroin has stripped her soul, and taken control over her every move. With her senses and emotions dulled, she falls deeper into a hole of which she believes she will never escape from. This is a memoir that takes you rock bottom. 
Book Two begins where Book One left off, with the author sitting in a holding tank after being sentenced to prison for the first time. Follow the story of a life-long addict and her eventual recovery.
