High Achiever: The Incredible True Story of One Addict's Double Life
by Tiffany Jenkins
reflective
medium-paced
I have watched videos on Facebook that Tiffany put out, which is how I came to be aware of who she was. I thought her story would be interesting from the things she said in her video, so when I found out she had a book, I bought it! I thought this book was great, and offered a picture of what life is like as an opiate addict, as well as what king of experiences people have while incarcerated.
The book goes into detail about her experiences as an opiate addict, which is a problem that is rampant in the United States. I think people often do not consider how or why people began using drugs, and just think negative things about them. Drugs can affect everyone from all walks of life, as noted in this book. The author had a good job, a lot of friends, had done a lot of great things, and was a good student in school. Drugs do not discriminate. Of course, once she began using, her personal relationships began to fall apart- especially the one with her boyfriend, who was the Deputy Sherriff. I cannot imagine being arrested by all of my friends and sitting in a jail with people who knew my boyfriend and what I had done. She was not treated so great by the law enforcement officers, and I know that them being friends with her boyfriend did not help that. I have watched several jail and police shows and there is always someone that seems to be on a power trip that wants to make a bad situation worse for people. The book really makes you consider the working of jails and prisons in the United States. Overall, it was a good book.
