| this was the most brutally honest personal account of addiction as i have ever read. as i recovering meth and heroin addict, i found it humbling and written with a pure heart. this book challenged me as a reader and addict to take myself back to my own closet of despair and to remember my life as it was, and to realize how far I have come. Nikki is really merciless to himself and effectively portays just about the ugliest picture of addiction and depression that the mind can comprehend. As I read these memoires and their respective commentaries, I felt a mixture of pain, humour, sorrow, joy and inspiration, encouragement and redemption. I actually cried and prayed after having read the final pages of this groundbreaking book of unprecedented truth. The Heroin Diaries is not for the weak minded or the squeamish. It is a priceless addition to my collection of autobiographies. A must read. |
