High Achiever

The Incredible True Story of One Addict's Double Life

De: Tiffany Jenkins

Narrado por: Tiffany Jenkins

National Best Seller

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 20 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, pause resisting memoir that sounds 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.

Inspirational Story on Addiction and Recovery

LOVED this book! I've read it three times but this is the first time I've listened to it! I love how Tiffany makes you feel like you are right there in the midst of it all. It also shines light on what us addicts go through on a daily basis and how our brain works while in active addiction. Tiffany is truly an inspiration!

AMAZING!

This was the best audiobook that I have listened to describing the hell of an addict. addiction has touched so many people in my life, including myself. over 20 surgeries and pain pills for most of them.. This book is highly recommend for the suffering and for those who don't understand why you don't just stop using. I don't think they can understand. my reference is to imagine falling in the water and you cant swim. at that point, you would do almost anything to breathe. your drug of choice has a hand out. do you take the hand or try like hell to surface without knowing how to swim.
