And you thought you were messed up.

In one of the most unique memoirs of addiction ever published, Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx shares mesmeriz-ing diary entries from the year he spiraled out of control in a haze of heroin and cocaine—presented along-side riveting commentary from people who knew Nikki at the time, and from Nikki himself.

When Mötley Crüe was at the height of their 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; Nikki would often end up in his closet, surrounded by drug parapher-nalia and wrapped up in paranoid delusions.

Brutally honest, utterly riveting, and shockingly moving, The Heroin Diaries follows Nikki during the year he plunged to rock bot-tom—and his courageous deci-sion to pick himself up and start living again.
