About this ebook
The shocking, gripping, and at times darkly hilarious bestselling memoir of Nikki Sixx’s yearlong war with a vicious heroin addiction, featuring exclusive new content.
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.

How can I get a refund? Wii didn't want the ebook I wanted the audiobook. I accidentally purchased the wrong one. Can you guys just take the ebook back and charge me the extra so I can have the audiobook? Please reply back to me

This book really hit home with me. Frequent drug use being a large part of my family, every page tugged on my heart strings a little bit more than the last. If you're someone out there looking for guidance or a means of providing forgiveness to a loved one, then Nikki Sixx's Heroine Diaries is an excellent read. Enjoy!

This is one of the best books I've ever read. And it comes at a perfect time in my life. I just started the soboxin clinic a few months ago. I give hats off to Nikki Sixx for laying it all out there. You are one of my mentors and I have never even met the man. May God continue to bless you and your family!
