I had began reading this book a couple of years back when I was still an active addict, even though I was in a state that I couldn't remember much and nothing that anyone did or said meant anything to me, I still remembered the few chapters that I had read. Even then this book had made an impression on me. This book is a must read for anyone that has a problem or that has someone close that has a problem. Nikki Sixx describes the highs and lows of addiction in a no holds barred kind of way. He tells the real story of how the drugs can take over even the strongest, richest person and takes them to a state of dementia that weakens them. It doesn't matter who stands in the way, nothing is more important than that next high, nothing can stop it not even death. In the book he talks about how he loses all self respect, not bathing for days or weeks on end, letting the drug take over his mind with paranoia as he sits in his closet with a gun and a spoon. He lets his mansion get over run with dirty needles, spoons, and lemon juice bottles, yet where are his friends? There is none. Is it truly that lonely at the top, or is it the bottom where the isolation consumes you? I may not have the money or the fame that Nikki Sixx has, but I relate to him on almost every level. I have let my drug induced psychosis destroy the few true friendships that I have had. I have tried to go to work in a state that most people couldn't even get out of bed in. I have lost jobs, friends and family members from my addiction. It took me many years to figure out that it wasn't me that they disliked, it was drugs and me on the drugs. Since then I have picked myself up and I am trying to gain the love and trust of the people that I hurt. I know that it is going to take time but I can be patient, after all this didn't happen overnight. Nikki did a great job with telling his story of the fall and the rise back up in a manner that not only is easy to read and understand but is also the cold hard truth. If you or a loved one is suffering from an addiction, or if you are just curious on how someone that has it all can lose everything because of this self induced disease then you should read Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx.Read full review
First thing, as soon as this book arrived, my girlfriend went 'snag!' and I didn't see the book for 2 weeks. I can't speak to her review but she says she liked it. The cover and pictures interspread throughout the book are really cool, kind of like distorted Nikki with blood and stuff, gives it a neat look. The book itself is really good too. It's basically his diary of when he was high as a kite on heroin, and then after the diary excerpt will be comments from either people affected or Nikki himself today. If you're a crew fan like myself this is a must have. If you want to know how low and dark you can go being on heroin this is also a must have. Nikki did it all, coke, booze, whatever, but heroin was his drug of choice. This diary basically follows him along as you watch and shake your head at the exploits of a high rocker God.Read full review
I loved this book. Opened it and never put it down till I was done. I don't believe that you need to be a Motley Crue fan to enjoy this one. This is an amazing look into the hollow world of a rock star who has the world by the balls and can't get away from the demons. A truly gritty look into the world of a drug addict who just so happens to have all the money and contacts that are needed to keep a habit like this up. Loved the format of the book and all of the insight from the people who shared this year with Sixx. I only wish the book was a couple hundred pages longer. I cant wait to read The Dirt now.
AWESOME BOOK ON WHAT HEROIN CAN DO TO ANYONE IN THE WORLD. I TOO AM A FORMER EX JUNKIE FROM HAVING TO USE OPIATES TO KILL PAIN FROM GUN SHOT WOUNDS RECIEVED IN IRAQ DURING THE FIRST GULF WAR. PAIN PILLS SOON TURNED TO OTHER FORMS OF OPIATES WHICH SOON TURNED INTO MY NEWEST LOVER CALLED HEROIN. HEROIN WILL TAKE EVERYTHING YOU OWN SLOWLY BUT SURLY. MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THAT AND TRUST NO ONE THAT TELLS U.. JUST TRY IT.. YOULL LIKE IT AND U WONT GET ADDICTED... BIGGEST LIE IN THE WORLD... GREAT BOOK. BRINGS U RIGHT INOT THE MIND OF A STRONG HEROIN USER AND TO TELL U THE TRUTH I FELT HIGH READING IT. AWESOME REAED. I ADVISE ALL TO READ THIS BOOK. THANKS,...
