I've borrowed 'Nikki Sixx: The Heroin Diaries' off Josh and I love it. I've been straight edge (even though I prefer to say that I don't drink or smoke, people have labelled me this) for about 2 months now. I didn't see the point in getting drunk or whatever, because you ... well I can... have a good time without the aid of drugs.

If you need drugs to make you an interesting person, you are the definition of boring

This book has just made my opinion even stronger. It really messed him up and made him horrible. He was on everything. He didn't even go to his Grandma's funeral because it was 'valuable heroin time' and he was an ass hole. I think he's an inspiration to people who need help but can't seem to get it. I think he's amazing for coming off everything.

If getting drunk, for example, makes you feel comfortable, that's a problem you can work on within yourself... I don't see the point in drinking, getting absolutely wasted and not remembering it the next day. My mate said that, that's the good part. But in my opinion I'd rather remember it the first time around. The hangover's too - they're just awful. So, I just didn't see the point and still don't.

Everyone is either smoking, drinking or worse... most of my friends are. The truth is that I'm scared to death that they'll get in to worse stuff and I'll lose them or watch them fall apart.

I don't understand why alcohol and cigarettes are legal... they are the biggest killers!

Yeah sure, life's too short... but what's the point in making it any shorter?!
