High Achiever: The Shocking True Story of One Addict's Double

High Achiever: The Shocking True Story of One Addict's Double Life

I wasnâ€™t always a terrible person. In fact, there was a point when I was captain of my high school cheerleading squad, "Valentine Queen", and student body president. Once word got out that I was currently withdrawing from opiates on the floor of a jail cell, people in my town were shocked, to say the least. Not because of the 27 felonies Iâ€™d acquired, or the nature of my crimes, but mainly because my boyfriend was a Sheriff Deputy, and his friendsâ€”our friends, were the ones whoâ€™d arrested me. I spent 120 days in a jail where every officer knew what I had done to their â€˜brother in blueâ€™ and despised me for it. After a few suicide attempts, cavity searches, pillow fights and lesbian love affairs, I made my way to a residential treatment center. It was there that I recounted the harrowing events leading up to my arrest, and eventually began the process of recovering from a life of addiction. Leaving rehab wasn't the end of my story, instead it was the beginning of a chapter more beautiful and surprising than I could have imagined. Whether you are currently sitting in jail feeling lost, in a rehabilitation center seeking hope, or struggling to understand a loved one who is suffering from addiction, "High Achiever" reads like fiction, and will give you a shocking, honest, and at times humorous look inside the mind of a drug addict.
