Summary
In honor of the 10-year anniversary of The Heroin Diaries, Nikki Sixx's definitive and best-selling memoir on drug addiction is now available on audio for the first time, read by Nikki Sixx! This shocking, gripping, and at times darkly hilarious memoir explores Nikki's yearlong war with a vicious heroin addiction. Now more than ever, with opioid addiction ravaging our country and rising by 20 percent in the past year alone, Nikki's story of both his descent into drug-addled decay and subsequent recovery and transition into a rehabilitation advocate is now more relevant than ever.
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 the diary entries - some poetic, some scatterbrained, some bizarre - of those dark times.
Brutally honest, utterly riveting, and surprisingly 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.

Brutally honest
a very honest account of a life in the midst of an adiction to heroin, drink and a self loathe, it's dark, brutal and strangely uplifting at the end.

Incredible Story with a Very Positive Message
Nikki Sixx tells a very honest and open story with many of his peers telling us how much of a difficult and spiteful person he used to be. The 10year anniversary edition adds a lot to the story on how Nikki has turned his life around even after Motley Crue finished.
The story is read incredibly well by Nikki and you can feel the emotion in his voice as he relives the Heroin Diaries.
Loved every second of this story!

Amazing
Love this book. Honest, raw but moreover therapeutic. If you are dealing with any kind of addiction. Read this book. Work with gambling addicts. Recommend to all of them to read this book. So much more insightful than any other book I’ve read on gambling addiction. Addiction is addiction and this is the best insight you’ll ever get into that troubled world.

a lost man trying to find his way!
Some of the reviews of this book were quite dispassionate, but I was really keen to read it from a psychotherapist and huge rock fan point of view. Others have suggested Nikki is narcicistic and horrid, but listening to his diaries made me feel that he was just a lost little boy trying to navigate his way through life. I've read quite a few books about musicians addictions and the constant thing I keep thinking is: "Why didn't anyone see how much these people were struggling - why did nobody help!" The ending made me cry, Nikki speaks candiddly about his continuing journey - and I wish him and his family all the best for the future.

Unabridged, honest. Pure Crue!
If you're a fan of the Crue or just Rock in general, this is essential listening. Honest, funny, gross and heart felt, Nikki shows why he deserves his spot in the RocknRoll HoF. Epic.
