The bestselling author of High Achiever reckons with life after addiction in this darkly funny and emotionally raw new memoir
"Life is strange. One minute you're committing felonies and shooting up drugs in the bathroom of the police precinct, and the next you're rushing to bring cupcakes to your kids' kindergarten class," writes Tiffany Jenkins. Relatable, right?
After a brutal struggle with opioid addiction that landed her four months in prison, Tiffany was ready for a fresh start. What she didn't expect was just how fast life would happen once she was out of prison. In typical high-achieving fashion, she went from felon to married, sober mom of three in just two years--a whirlwind transition that forced a reckoning with her mental health challenges. And what she really didn't expect was the collapse of her marriage a few years later, a crisis that forced her to reckon with the foundations of her independence, mental health, and sobriety.
As she forged her future, Tiffany learned to feel emotions and live life without numbing herself with drugs. She had to figure out how to be a mom, how to have a career, how to be married, how to get divorced, how to be an adult, and how to have feelings all at the same time. The thing about life is that it just keeps happening. With dark humor, her conversational page-turning style, and emotionally raw storytelling, she explores what we carry inside of us-and how to find gratitude and peace anyway. Tiffany Jenkins is the bestselling author of High Achiever. She uses her platform (@jugglingthejenkins) to help and inspire others who are struggling with motherhood, mental health, addiction, and those who just need a good laugh. She speaks frequently about addiction and recovery. She lives with her family in Sarasota, Florida.
