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.

I’m interested in addiction and rehabilitation, so have been going through a lot of books on the topic and although I enjoyed this, I much prefer stories of normal families who get sucked into the awful world of addiction as they are far more relatable. You really learn something from Nic/David Sheff’s accounts as you realise with horror that this could easily happen to your family. A rock star’s debauchery is pretty much a standardised formula and is far removed from normal life. And they all predictably clean their act up once they hit middle age (if they make it that far).
I knew it went on, but now I’m in my 40’s I find the disposable treatment of women really appalling, but even more so, how there always seemed to be a bus load of girls ready and willing to be abused. I wondered how many people shared STD’s after all the germs flying around.
I have a new respect for Mick Marrs tho, he was the only one of the four who wasn’t a complete arsehole. I think we knew that at the time but he always came across as the oddball.
And finally, there must’ve been a LOT of very high sewer rats in LA in 1987!
Respect to Mick Marrs - the only decent Crue member!
