A CLEAN MESS

Tiffany Jenkins

A Memoir of Sobriety AFter a Liftetime of Being Numb

We are excited to send A CLEAN MESS: A Memoir of Sobriety After a Lifetime of Being Numb by bestselling author of HIGH ACHIEVER, Tiffany Jenkins!

A decade into her recovery, Tiffany finally had a big house and the white fence for her family, but she still felt like that 20-year-old addict looking for anything to put into her veins at the slightest sign of inconvenience. A CLEAN MESS is a darkly comedic and emotionally raw look at her relationship with sobriety and feeling things fully for the first timeespecially with dealing with her ever-changing relationship with her now ex-husband. She kicks off her story with the crushing realization that her ex broke his own sobriety at a bachelor's party in Vegas, then takes readers back to the beginning of their budding relationship against the backdrop of her drug recovery.

Every time Tiffany faces a roadblock in her marriage or with motherhood, her first instinct is to score her drug of choice, but time and time again, with the help of her sponsor and circle of friends who are also in recovery, Tiffany chooses to tackle through her problems. Now on the other side of recovery, she shares how much she has learned about herself, from her independence to her mental health, and how her past has informed her sobriety.

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.

A Clean Mess is the book we have all been waiting for. Once again, Tiffany has taken us inside her life in recovery using humor, humility, and love as her compass. Tiffany's second memoir gives readers a raw and honest look into relationships as a recovering addict. She's relatable and endearing while living through some of the most unimaginable circumstances. I laughed. I cried. And then I called my parents.

In this deeply personal and unflinchingly honest memoir, Tiffany Jenkins illustrates that recovery is not just about sobriety, but about learning to live and feel again. Her compelling story is a testament to the power of resilience, humor, and hope.

When I read A Clean Mess, I found myself so deeply relating to Tiffany's pain that it felt as though I'd crawled right into her body to live through it all over again. She holds nothing back and bares her soul with wit, honesty, and raw grit: things that make for both an excellent human and an excellent read. From one woman who has walked through fire to another: Read this! It'll remind you that while we're all kinda f***ed up, none of us are alone.

Jenkins takes readers on a rollicking ride-along through her addiction and recovery in the moving and darkly comic follow-up to High Achiever . . . Jenkins's raw reflections have the rueful quality of diary entries ('During the years I should have been learning to save money, file taxes, and pay bills, I was stuck on a train to nowhere'). Throughout, she avoids facile empowerment messages while still providing hope for those lingering near rock bottom. This inspires.
