When did Nikki get sober?

Post by PhrozenInferno »

I saw a recent instagram post from him this year noting ‘24 years sober’ which denotes 2001.

Brides of Destruction formed in 2002… wasn’t he high during this run?

If I’m mistaken let me know. Either way. Good on him

With that guy, you could ask him twice and get five different answers.

Frankly(ha!) I don't believe a word of what he says. He claimed in his fake diary that he went back to heroin in the early 2000s.

He fell off the wagon around 2000ish. When he was fucking Samantha Maloney in the house while his then wife Donna was pregnant. I remembering hearing about Nikki not being sober in 2001 as I know somebody in the business who went to work with him and that person was surprised to see how fucked up he was.

As far as I know, he's never talked about what substances he was doing at the time. I think he was sort of on again/off again in the 90s as well.

Wasnt he drinking when he was with Kat Von D? I think I remember a photo circulating of him drinking wine with her or some shit.
