I just wanted to say thanks to all who responded.

My solution is to make use of shared_ptr and enable_shared_from_this
rather than trying to manage the lifetime of the object myself. I can't
see a way of doing that at the moment due to the unpredictable nature of
the invocation process of ASIO, which isn't a bug in ASIO, but rather
the way it was designed (fully asynchronous).
