SynopsisIn one of the most unique memoirs of addiction ever published, Mötley Crüe's Nikki Sixx shares mesmerizing diary entries from the year he spiraled out of control in a haze of heroin and cocaine, presented alongside riveting commentary from people who were there at the time, and from Nikki himself. When Mötley Crüe was at the height of its fame, there wasn't any drug Nikki Sixx wouldn't do. He spent days -- sometimes alone, sometimes with other addicts, friends, and lovers -- in a coke and heroin-fueled daze. The highs were high, and Nikki's journal entries reveal some euphoria and joy. But the lows were lower, often ending with Nikki in his closet, surrounded by drug paraphernalia and wrapped in paranoid delusions. Here, Nikki shares those diary entries -- some poetic, some scatterbrained, some bizarre -- and reflects on that time. Joining him are Tommy Lee, Vince Neil, Mick Mars, Slash, Rick Nielsen, Bob Rock, and a host of ex-managers, ex-lovers, and more. Brutally honest, utterly riveting, and shockingly moving, The Heroin Diaries follows Nikki during the year he plunged to rock bottom -- and his courageous decision to pick himself up and start living again., In one of the most unique memoirs of addiction ever published, M tley Cr e's Nikki Sixx shares mesmerizing diary entries from the year he spiraled out of control in a haze of heroin and cocaine, presented alongside riveting commentary from people who were there at the time, and from Nikki himself.

Bold and Intense
It is one of the best books I have read, but illustrations on pages sometimes make it difficult to read, plus print on black pages were more difficult.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great!
I'm amazed that Nikki Sixx kept a journal through this time. His words are truly eye opening into the world of a heorin addict. I also like the observations that he got his friends and family to give during that time.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

the heroin diaries review
I couldn't put it down once i started reading it. Nikki sixx is a madman and i dont see how he has survived. If your a motley crue fan you must read this book. Very compelling and in the end its really inspirational how someone can turn things around and climb up from the bottom. Great read and i may even read it again.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
