Nikki Mammano landed in Hawaii as a college student. Within months, she was known as the Crystal Meth Queen of Waikiki — and then it all collapsed. Today she’s a PTA mom in New Jersey and the author of Breaking Good, a raw memoir about addiction, trauma, and what it really takes to get out. In this episode of The Hidden Third, we talk about how a Jersey girl became the Crystal Meth Queen of Waikiki, the violence and paranoia of that world, and the moment it all came crashing down. We also go into what recovery actually looks like over years, how she rebuilt a life after prison, homelessness, and sex work, and why telling the truth about her past is part of staying clean.
