Euphoric Recall

As a schoolboy already caught up in addiction Aidan stood outside of a McDonalds waiting for a man he thought was his friend. A friend he met online. It would change his life forever. He was a streetwise kid growing up in a tough housing scheme but the Internet was a new phenomenon. Euphoric Recall details his recovery from extreme trauma and addiction. As a Scottish working-class lad who grew up in a new town-Livingston-he also survived brutal experiences with suicide violence and severe mental health issues. One day he decided to write a memoir about it. He holds nothing back.23 September 2020 Scottish Parliament Motion S5M-22809 created by Neil Findlay MSP: That the Parliament congratulates Aidan Martin from Livingston on the publication of his first book Euphoric Recall; understands that the book details Aidans recovery from extreme trauma and addiction and recalls his survival and experiences of drugs suicide violence and mental ill health; notes that Aidan now works with and provides support and counselling to drug users seeking help for their addiction; wishes Aidan well with the book and looks forward to it being a positive contribution to the debate around drugs and drug deaths in Scotland.Motion supported by: Richard Lyle David Stewart Brian Whittle Miles Briggs Stuart McMillan Mark McDonald Rona Mackay Monica Lennon Kenneth Gibson Bill Kidd Sarah Boyack and Jeremy Balfour.
