About this listen

When a career-ending injury saw former Ireland and Millwall striker Richie Sadlier retire from football at age 24, his life spiralled out of control.

Without structure or a sense of purpose, fuelled by a dependency on alcohol, he spent years running from the dark memories and feelings that had haunted him since childhood. Until one day he hit rock bottom and decided to confront his demons.

Recovering is about a life shaped by efforts to escape and how it is possible to rebuild that life, piece by piece, with the right help.

Inspiring and ground-breaking, it is an important reflection on the need to move away from perceptions of shame in our discussions about mental health, sex, relationships and addiction.

Captivating diary. It's been quite a journey for Richie. The narrator sounds a bit like him which adds to the experience.

Brilliantly written. Honest and personal.

I have a new found respect for Richie after this book. I never really knew anything about him, I always thought who is this guy when he first showed up on our screens. Now I know both the tragic and inspiring life he has lived thus far. Fair play for telling his story the good and the bad.

Surprisingly Good Listen
