Publisher Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An up-close portrait of the mind of an addict and a life unraveled by narcotics—a memoir of captivating urgency and surprising humor that puts a human face on the opioid crisis.
 
“Raw, brutal, and shocking. Move over, Orange Is the New Black.”—Amy Dresner, author of My Fair Junkie

When word got out that Tiffany Jenkins was withdrawing from opiates on the floor of a jail cell, people in her town were shocked. Not because of the twenty felonies she’d committed, or the nature of her crimes, or even that she’d been captain of the high school cheerleading squad just a few years earlier, but because her boyfriend was a Deputy Sherriff, and his friends—their friends—were the ones who’d arrested her.
 
A raw and twisty page-turning memoir that reads like fiction, High Achiever spans Tiffany’s life as an active opioid addict, her 120 days in a Florida jail where every officer despised what she’d done to their brother in blue, and her eventual recovery. With heart-racing urgency and unflinching honesty, Jenkins takes you inside the grips of addiction and the desperate decisions it breeds. She is a born storyteller who lived an incredible story, from blackmail by an ex-boyfriend to a soul-shattering deal with a drug dealer, and her telling brims with suspense and unexpected wit. But the true surprise is her path to recovery. Tiffany breaks through the stigma and silence to offer hope and inspiration to anyone battling the disease—whether it’s a loved one or themselves.

Triggers

I loved this book. But, I am not an addict. I do not recommend any person just getting clean to read this book as it has way too many triggers for the weaker individual. Detailed euphoria over and over about when she’d get High. Details of how, when and where she got high. Other than that, great story.

Thank you!

First off I am not an addict and I have never struggled with drugs and alcohol. I have however struggled with poor self image, depression and anxiety. Being able to hear what you put yourself through and how you choose to take yourself out of it was amazing! Thank you being real and vulnerable and inspiring people to see they are worth living a life of hope and happiness! TIFFANY-I know the struggle is real and still haunts you daily- and you are not alone and are a fighter! Keep fighting and keep loving yourself!
