The Heroin Diaries: 10 Year Anniversary Edition

A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star

De: Nikki Sixx

Narrado por: Nikki Sixx, Sophie Kargman, Ross Marquand

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.

1st edition- a well read, 2nd- a awesome audible!

I really dislike reading but I love Nikki Sixx. My brother brought me the book and said "trust me and read it!" I was in my mid 30's and hadn't read a book since high school. I couldn't put the book down and finished it in less than a week.
Who would have known Nikki was going through this? I didn't and I also didn't think anybody could survive with such a crazy lifestyle.
I was estacted when I heard about the 10th anniversary edition and since we have bitchen apps that can read to us now...even better, Nikki can read to me! I might even listen to it again.

wow amazing grt book.

so glad i chose to listen to it. narrated by Nikki himself. I never would have gotten the feel if I read it instead of went through audiobook. im a Motley Crue fan and hearing his story, makes me see how he struggled and pulled through. ty Nikki

Can’t believe Nikki Sixx lived to tell this tale!

It is truly a miracle that Nikki Sixx lived to tell this story. If it were me, I would have been dead long ago. The only reason I didn’t give the audio book 5 stars for performance is because of the female narrator. She was absolutely terrible and at one point even tried and failed miserably at using a foreign accent (I think it was supposed to be Scottish?) Nikki is a great narrator though and it was really special hearing him tell his own story.

amazing

amazing book... I'm dealing with the same stuff nikki is. I've been clean for couple years now n it helps to know even with all his money we went through alot of the same
shit.

Great!

Once I started listening it was hard to turn off. You could really tell Nikki was struggling when he wrote those diaries.

Well done..

I had a hard time with the down spiral.. but that’s just because it’s tough to hear.. the anniversary edition is WELL worth it for the “where is he now” love motley? Get it you will love this

amazing

loved it well worth the money makes me think of my own addiction. hearing this puts life in perspective

great

an amazing book not only about addiction but about a journey to find true happiness

Redemption

I read the Dirt and thought Nikki Sixx was basically a garbage person. A selfish ego maniac. But through this book you are introduced to a completely different person. I love the story and I love that he is sober. I have 15 years clean and I still got a lot out of this book.

Amazing

I absolutely loved it. I can relate in some ways . If you can get clean, anybody in this planet can get clean. Thank you for being so raw. I'm going to buy the book, and read it. After my son heard it. he is going to read it and he doesn't read anything.
