In honor of the ten-year anniversary of The Heroin
Diaries, Nikki Sixx’s definitive and bestselling memoir on
drug addiction is reissued with exclusive new content. 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 twenty 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 are 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. 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 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.
