High Achiever

High Achiever: the incredible true story of one addict's double life / Tiffany Jenkins, read by the author 369 pgs.

Falling deeper into addiction while outwardly living a happy life with her boyfriend who was a deputy sheriff, the need for drugs put the author on the path of stealing and turning tricks for her next hit.  Employed as a manager in a restaurant, everything comes crashing down one day when the cops who she personally knew, came to her house and put her in cuffs. Accustomed to talking her way out of any situation, it took awhile before she realized this was serious.  Time in jail was difficult, if not only for the detox.  Jenkins had now dropped from head cheerleader to inmate.  She went through many tough times that are not sugar coated in this book but mostly reveals her story with humor and candor.  Read by the author, the audio version is well worth your time.
