About this listen
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.

My only critique is the womans voice, yeesh. I know kiwi chicks don't have the same preppy tones as Americans but yeah... it was a struggle to listen to her parts, which was annoying because they were covering his mothers and his serious ex-partner who added a lot of value. Still, it was awesome, would recommend it to a lot of people.

It’s a very insightful look in to music of that era. Knowing the background of the songs, and writing process, gave me more of an appreciation for them.
It’s also an inside (and personal) perspective on the struggles of addiction and depression. I commend Nikki Sixx for sharing such personal thoughts and stories. I can see why many people would have been able to relate and find comfort in this book.
Thank you for sharing your story.
A lot more honest and candid than I expected.
