Publisher's summary

I was you.

I was once afraid, anxious, confused and lost. I was crippled with panic attacks, trapped by agoraphobia, and riddled with constant anxiety. I almost lost everything important in my life as my world became smaller and smaller. This is the story of my journey through anxiety, panic disorder, and agoraphobia. The good, the bad, and the ugly of panic attacks, anxiety symptoms, irrational and obsessive thoughts, and being afraid to leave my house or be left alone. This is the story of how I went from an anxious, fearful mess, to living a full, normal life no longer controlled by anxiety or its limitations.

I am asked almost daily if I am completely recovered from my anxiety disorders. I am, and I am happy to share how I did it. It's not magic, it's not rocket science, and I didn’t invent any of this. There are no programs to buy, no coaches to hire, no expensive one-on-one sessions, no herbs, supplements, crystals, or medications. Everything I needed to fix this problem was already inside me. Everything you need to fix this problem is already inside you.

This is simply a story of applying behavioral science, courage, tenacity, consistency, and an unquenchable desire to overcome these problems once and for all.

I was once you, but now I am not. If I can do this, so can you. I promise.

Drew is down to earth and personable, I felt I could relate to him and his story is very motivating.

I really enjoyed this book for drew, he is very relatable and just honest. I actually laughed sometimes while listening to his experience. It is definitely a story of an inspiring and courageous man, and has inspired me to find the courage to face the ‘monster’ and finally live my life the way I hope to.

Finally the truth

Finally the truth about anxiety from someone who lived it just like the rest of us. All the shit we read about medication, meditation, diet, supplements, aroma therapy, and stupid breathing contraptions etc etc which only create rituals to ward off anxiety. His story is my story. Screw all the crap and face your fear! Excellent
