                I feel that Nikki Sixx has great courage writing the book, publishing the book, and especially putting all his personal journals in the book as well. Most people would not dare to put anything personal out into the public, especially about this specific topic. Nikki wrote the book for a very obvious and great reason. On page 413, Nikki writes, “Someone asked me why I was writing this book and I said, ‘Maybe one person will read it and it will help them,’” even if Nikki only helped one person, he was willing to share everything for just to help that one person. People are hypercritical and will judge before actually knowing the whole story, and I am not talking just about this book but for many other issues in life as well.

            I can to relate to Nikki in and what he has gone through in a variety of ways. I absolutely hate when people talk about a subject without knowing all the facts that go along with it. For example, when people say just get over it, stop doing what you are doing it is destroying your life, and or the most famous, well I guess you do not care about anything. What people do not know is the underlining cause of why people do what they do. Most of the time it is not because they want to, it is not because they do not love their loved ones/family, or they just do not care about anything, but it is because they must. Sounds strange, right?  Addiction causes chemical imbalances in the brain because of the reward system over load that has taken place, causing immense issues for that person.

            I recognize what Nikki was trying to do when he published this book that had all of his most inner darkest secrets, as well as thoughts. Knowledge about addiction needs to be widespread across the nation, and even the nation is pretty much under a drug addiction epidemic. People are overdosing and dying daily because of taking immense amount of drugs or just taking drugs without actually knowing the contents of what they are about to have in their bloodstream. Addition needs to be spoken about more frequently and talked about in all the schools as well. Nikki Sixx wrote a book about his addition, along with other serious issues that he was dealing with at the time and everything that Nikki has wrote about needs to be addressed everywhere. Something needs to be done, something needs to take place to help others that have been in the same situation as Nikki.
