Feck Everything and Run! is a brutally honest, darkly comic memoir chronicling one man’s descent into alcoholism and benzodiazepine addiction, set against the ruthless backdrop of Ireland’s advertising industry, during the Celtic Tiger years. Eoghan Ryan navigates marriage, fatherhood, corporate backstabbing, and inner collapse, while hurtling through years of growing anxiety, emotional numbness, and self-destruction. Through vivid storytelling, Ryan captures the visceral lows of his addiction and the chaotic absurdity of his rehabilitation — a journey punctuated by a catastrophic weekend at a U2 concert in Barcelona, a life-saving family intervention, and the steady, redemptive force of love. Told with gallows humour rooted in the Irish tradition of laughing through despair, Feck Everything and Run! offers a rare male perspective on childbirth, mental health, and the often-overlooked realities of depression at the heart of addiction. It asks: what does it take to break the generational cycle of dependency in a society where stigma still clings to both sobriety and emotional vulnerability? The answer, as Ryan shows with raw candour, lies in conversation, vulnerability, and the unyielding support of those who refuse to give up hope.
