Tami Lewis: I learned more about addiction and prison than I thought possible. My heart was in my throat most of the time.
When you get to the end you definitely breathe a sigh of relief that things turned out as they did. And you're amazed that they did.

Rick: The honesty Tiffany presents in her book is one of the major keys to recovery. It's a freedom only a recovering addict knows the bliss and joy that it brings.

Alan LeBlanc: This story is a compelling glimpse into the chaos that addiction wreaks . The brain is hijacked by this compulsion. The protagonists sole purpose, her raison d'être is to get high. And we see the havoc and mayhem left in it's wake.

Diane Harm: Well where do I start! Tiffany I couldn't put your book down. Took me 6 hours to read it. 📚 I hope your life continues to fill you with love and joy.

Nicole Hull: Tiffany Jenkins does such a great job expressing her journey and struggles through addiction and recovery.
As someone who as also struggled, I found the book so relatable, and was unable to put it down. It really shows all the ugly sides of addiction, both for the addict and for their loved ones. Jenkins never shies away from the gruesome truth, and through her writing makes you feel like you are living her story alongside her.
I would say this is a definite must read for anyone struggling with addiction, in recovery, or who have loved ones experiencing this.
If the author, Tiffany Jenkins sees these comments, I would love to thank you for sharing your story. Through your work, I believe you will help so many people, including myself. I can't imagine how hard it must be to share this story with the world, and you are so brave to do so. Thank you so much!

Kindle Customer: I've been following Tiffany for years now and knew parts of her story from some of her videos, but this was such an in depth journey to take reading this. As a recovering addict myself of 4 years, having had 10 years of active addiction myself, I felt all the emotions raw like I was right there with her, because I had felt all of those emotions at some point myself. I read this in 2 days because I found I couldn't put the book down.
I would recommend anyone still in active addiction, in any stage of recovery, or anyone who loves an addict to read this book. Honestly , even if your life hasn't been touched by addiction, you should still read it, because it really gives an inside view of how much hold it has on a person , but also how much difference can be made by having the right person/ people with a kind caring open heart can make to another life that is so lost and in despair.
Great job Tiff ! I loved every bit of this and hope you write more. I'd love to read a book about your life leading up to this book, and another about after, even tho i know alot of what you post online , but you write so well i feel like I know you personally.
You are a wonderful person and you...

Kaitlyn: I would HIGHLY recommend for someone who is the loved one of an addict , to kind of see and have understanding for how twisted and warped our mind and way of thinking is throughout active addiction -& therefore our actions..... Not so you can enable us and feel sorry for us, but so you can be even better equipped to deal with the situations and things brought by the addict, I do think it could be helpful in that way. We aren’t terrible awful human beings ... but we are sick, very sick. Also, if you’re the loved one of an addict & lost at what to do - please make an open AA/NA meeting or Al-anon, this is extremely important. If you are lost at what to do or need peace in your life - as you deserve- make those meetings.
So ... I haven’t finished this book yet but , I love it. I am in recovery myself and one thing I will say, if you are an addict , and depending where you are in your recovery or on your journey, some of the detailed parts when she shoots up , I could see how that could possibly be a trigger for some. I mean, I have some time in the program now & sober and I am so far away from that lifestyle & then using at this point but still, just the...

Hawkins: This book now sits proudly on my shelf in full view to remind me no matter how hard things get you can get through and come out the other side. This woman is amazing! I bought High Achiever after hearing about Tiffany's struggles with Anxiety after she popped up in my face book news feed, i was fortunate enough to come across a few of her very funny video's explaining Anxiety better than i ever heard it explained, she puts a comical spin on Anxiety that somehow makes you feel less alone and the issues it causes much less of a strain!, as a sufferer myself i know there is a massive problem when it comes to explaining what Anxiety does, how it makes you feel and how it can cut you off from everyday life, family and friends.. After listening to Tiffany i didn't feel quite so alone and with her video's was finally able to say to my family "here watch this, this is me, this is what Anxiety is".. her comical way of explaining Anxiety bridges a gap that Anxiety can cause between you and ur loved ones, it not only helps the sufferer but helps their family understand what they can do to help.
When i heard about the book i had to read it and i'm so glad i did!, its brilliant!, tells the...

Karen P: I loved this audio book! It’s read by Tiffany herself. It’s sooo good and keeps you on edge. Just when you think it can’t get crazier, it does! And the fact that it’s a true story, HER STORY, makes it even better!
