Addiction & Recovery Books : The He**in Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star by Nikki Sixx (Author)

Set against the frenzied world of heavy metal superstardom, the co-founder of legendary Motley Crue offers an unflinching and gripping look at his own descent into drug addiction.

When Motley Crue were at the height of their fame, there wasn't a drug Nikki Sixx wouldn't do.

He spent days - sometimes alone, sometimes with others addicts, friends and lovers - in a coke- and he**in-fuelled daze.

THE HE**IN DIARIES reveals Nikki's personal diary entries alongside commentary from the people who know Nikki best including band mates Tommy, Vince and Mick.

The book is a candid look at a nightmare come true: a punishing he**in addiction that brought Nikki to the edge of losing his talent, his career, his family and finally to a near-fatal overdose which left him clinically dead for a few minutes before being revived.

Brutally honest, utterly riveting and shockingly moving, THE HE**IN DIARIES follows Nikki during the year he plunged to rock bottom and his courageous decision to pick himself up and start living again.

Nikki Sixx, the co-founder and bassist of Mötley Crüe, has been in recovery from severe drug and alcohol addiction for over 24 years.

After his near-fatal he**in overdose in 1987—Sixx eventually began a journey to sobriety that has transformed his life.

The full message

"There is a special feeling for addicts when they discover that there are other people who share their difficulties, past and present."

Basic Text, pp. 55-56

The wealth of our recovery is too good to keep to ourselves. Some of us believe that when we talk in meetings, we should "remember the newcomer" and always try to carry a positive message. But sometimes the most positive message we can carry is that we are going through difficult times in our recovery and are staying clean in spite of them!

Yes, it's gratifying to send out a strong message of hope to our newer members. After all, no one likes a whiner. But distressing things happen, and life on life's terms can send shock waves even through the recovery of long-time members of Narcotics Anonymous. If we are equipped with the tools of the program, we can walk through such turmoil and stay clean to tell the tale.

Recovery doesn't happen all at once; it is an ongoing process, sometimes a struggle. When we dilute the fullness of our message by neglecting to share about the tough times we may walk through on our journey, we fail to allow newcomers the chance to see that they, too, can stay clean, no matter what. If we share the full message of our recovery, we may not know who benefits, but we can be sure someone will.

Just for Today: I will honestly share both the good times and the difficult times of my recovery. I will remember that my experience in walking through adversity may benefit another member.

I LOVE THIS ANALOGY:
You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.
Why did you spill the coffee?
"Because someone bumped into me!!!"
Wrong answer.
You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup.
Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.
Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out.
Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled.
So we have to ask ourselves... “what's in my cup?"
When life gets tough, what spills over?
Joy, gratitude, peace and humility?
Anger, bitterness, victim mentality and quitting tendencies?
Life provids the cup, YOU choose how to fill it.
Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affrmation, resilience, positivity; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.

Women’s Talking Circle welcomed Mni Wiconi ladies out to present a few activities for the women. While they were having the ladies hand sew their cloth medicine pouches, they had them all practicing their basic Lakota/Dakota introductions. When they were done with their pouches they filled them with sage.
Thanks Mní Wičhóni Health Circle Victoria and Val! It was a great evening. Thank you for the teachings. ❤️
