Euphoric Recall by Aidan Martin - Goodreads

Lynagh said I should not have told Caoimhghín about our plan, however, Lynagh said Caoimhghín was right. That was the point of my life when I started going to extremes - I was drinking straight whisky, vodka and Buckfast at 14 paid for from my paper round and pocket money. I’m so pleased that Aidan had his ‘belly button family’ and his ‘recovery family’, so that he was able to share his story, which might help others to gain an inkling of an understanding of what not only addicts, but their family and friends too, might be going through. By this time I'd also started going to recovery meetings, so for the first time in my life I was starting to think that I might have a possible future.

He talks in his book about how coming to college changed his life, and it’s amazing to see how Aidan is now using his experience to change the lives of so many others. After a three day cocaine binge he suffered a breakdown, fearing he would follow in the footsteps of his own absent father. The way in which this book is written will make you feel connected and invested in someone’s life, despite never having met them. I did not disclose being raped to someone who had asked me to baby-sit with her a few weeks later in August, 1980. From the first paragraph to the last the reader is going to feel like they are tripping on ecstasy, but they will be taken through every emotion on the way.

Review of Aidan Martin’s Euphoric recall by Tich - SFAD

I was told by fellow mature students at Armagh Tech that certain individuals who were known to me as 'republicans' were the main drug dealers in Catholic areas of Armagh.Aidan is such a brave and courageous man to have written his story, an inspiration for anyone who reads it. If I could talk to myself back then I would tell him to never give up because you just don’t know what is waiting around the corner.
