Nothing to Lose
An open, raw and honest account of a mother's journey through grief, addiction and then recovery - this is how Nix Adams went from being a survivor to a star.
'There's no one as dangerous as someone who believes they have nothing to lose.'
In 2018, Nix Adams started posting videos on Facebook while she was freshly out of jail, in order to show her kids that she was sober and on the path back to them. Her world had unravelled when her youngest child, Alaska, died suddenly of a virus. A spiral of grief and then addiction led Nix to five years of chaos, resulting in a stint in maximum security prison where she finally hit rock bottom and started to work her way back up. Now, she's one of Aotearoa's most beloved storytellers, with a whānau of almost three million people watching her raw, funny and honest videos on social media.
Nothing To Lose is a story about survival and what it takes to start over.

I don’t often read autobiography or non fiction. But this book needed to be read. This woman is inspirational, she is a force to be reckoned with. What a phenomenal woman telling her story in a way that is hers and hers alone.
I am lost for words except by saying Nix Adams you are the type of woman I look up to, a role model for an entire generation of women.
