About this Blog

Alberta Sequeira is from North Dartmouth, Massachusetts and is a four-time award winning Author and an Awareness Coach on Alcohol and Drug Abuse after losing her husband and daughter from North Dighton, Massachusetts to their alcohol addiction. She speaks at private events behind closed doors to the substance abusers at court-ordered programs, halfway homes, rehabilitation centers, to their family and to the public.

Her first memoir A Spiritual Renewal: A Journey to Medjugorje is about her relationship with her father, Brigadier General, Albert L. Gramm, who had been one of the commanding officers of the 26th Yankee Division during WWII, fighting in some battles like Metz, Lorraine and The Battle of the Bulge. After his death from cancer and having witnessed his love and devotion to Our Blessed Mother and the rosary, she take a ten day pilgrimage to Medjugorje in Bosnia and finds her faith again after having stepped away from the Church for over twenty years.

Her second published memoir is Someone Stop This Merry-Go-Round; An Alcoholic Family in Crisis, about losing her husband at forty-five from his alcohol addiction. Alberta opens up about her enabling that only brings Richie deeper into his addiction. It's a book of lessons on what NOT to do with a loved one drinking.

The sequel, Please, God, Not Two; This Killer Called Alcoholism is about her struggle with her daughter Lori fighing the same alcohol addiction. She goes into three substance abuse rehabs to only lose her battle at thirty-nine. Lori is put to rest with her father at the St. Patrick Cemetery in Somerset, MA.

Her Narrative Non-Fiction book What is and isn’t Working for the Alcoholics and Addicts; In Their Own Words had been written by 34 alcoholic and drug users from the USA and Canada from all walks of life telling family, counselors, doctors and society what they need from each of us to desire the help from professionals and develop the want to get into a recovery program. Alberta wanted the answers to what we are all doing wrong to help our loved ones, so she went directly to the substance abusers to get into their mind-set.

Ms. Sequeira is an educational instructor for three workshops: Bring Your Manuscript to Publication, How to Self-Publish Your Own Book with Create Space and Writing Memoirs. All three classes were made into handbooks.

She is a co-founder to Authors Without Borders (www.awb6.com) and a director, producer and co-host to the NBTV-95 Cable Show out of New Bedford, MA.

She is a contributor to The Speaker Anthology, VOL. 1 (page 98-100) by Dr. Kent Gustavson and Sally Shields.

She is in the process of working on her first fictional story, The Rusty Years, which will be in a three book series. It's about a 92-year-old woman who looks back with losing the love of her life and giving a child up for adoption. She tries to find out what went wrong before she is called home to the Pearly White Gates. Hopefully, it will be published in the later part of 2017 and readers will see a lighter side of her.
