This weeks #iwasgonnae podcast guest is Aiden Martin Author and recovering drug addict.
Aiden was born and educated in Livingstone and feels he was ‘failed’ and didn’t feel as if I was educated in high school’. Aiden tells us ‘ I left school at 16 with no qualifications, no hope and no future’. However, had a very different story when he went to West Lothian college in his mid twenty’s’ where he felt ‘I was getting nurtured and getting told how bright my future could be’.
How ever what happened in the years between is as they say another story. Aiden is now an author and has written about the years in between in the first of two books called Euphoric Recall and details Aiden’s recovery from extreme trauma and addiction whilst detailing how he survived being groomed, his experiences with suicide, violence and severe mental health issues.
Listen to more of Aiden’s harrowing and motivational life and career story now on the #iwasgonnae podcast.
