Sobre este e-book

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.

Só preciso desabafar, achei que vivia um ótimo relacionamento, como todos tem seus altos e baixos. 5 anos de casados. Ele sempre foi meio parado, trabalhava só pra pagar as contas e juntar um dinheiro pra comprar peças pro carro ou tatuagens, sempre o incentivei a fazer faculdade, pois sou formada e sei que isso pode fazer ele crescer no futuro, e agora ele esta fendo educação física ja esta no 2 semestre. Pois bem. Essa semana o celular dele quebrou e foi para o concerto. Temos um notebook que compartilhamos, nele ele estava acessando o Instagram dele e acabou esquecendo aberto. E tinha 5 mensagens na barra de notificações do Instagram, ele marcando de treinar na academia com as meninas e depois motel. . . Cara eu estou muito magoada, com nojo, tá um misto de emoções. Eu não quero mais nem olhar na cara dele. Me sinto muito mal
