Publisher's 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.

Loved it!

I was never really a huge Motley Crue fan to be honest, but I was very intrigued with Nikki Sixx's story. My respect level went up hardcore for him. Well done, Nikki! Keep on keepin' on!

Riveting. Outstanding. Brutally Honest.

This was the most amazing book I’ve purchased. Having Nikki reading his own material brought it closer to the heart. The pain and anguish of that era was made crystal clear through his diaries, lyrics & rambling notes. I have suggested it to everyone I know. Thank you for sharing ☺️

Crazy Story

It would have been fun for a week!!!! It is weird that people will gravitate to such a crazy story, but it can help those down in the gutter. By the end of the book i was happy I listened to his story.

Nikki Sixx delivers!!

Narrated by Nikki Sixx, this depiction of the worst year of his life is so much richer due to Sixx's entertaining candor and vocal inflections. He has a great voice and it shines through on this updated version of his best-selling book. #Audible1

Amazingly talented

I had read the book previous to the audio book quite a few years ago. I just finished listening to the 10th anniversary edition. Just as amazing as I remembered! If you're a big Nikki Sixx fan you'll really appreciate this book!!
Side note-- Not a huge fan of the narrator in this audiobook.

10/10

Read this when it first came out. Loved listening to Nikki recount everything. I thought it was weird they used two other people for the commentary of others but it was also quite funny and entertaining. Will absolutely listen again!
