Product Description

From the Publisher

When asked to publish this our reaction was no not another phobia book about spiders and snakes. But this one is a totally new concept letting the sufferer tell us how it feels to live a life dominated by Social Phobia and the terrible destruction it caused in his life. this will become a milestone in Phobia books.


From the Author

I worked with Steve Conway for over a year going back in detail over his lonely tragic but very brave life. He left nothing out in the hope it will help other phobics. As he said 'At last a Phobic tells what it's like'. I feel proud to know him and above all tell his story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beg Steal or Borrow a copy!, 12 Nov 2005
By Mr. BJ Turbett (Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a gem of a book which precisely reflects the everyday experience of social phobia so much better than the quasi medical and 'self help' manuals. Yet in the end it offers a chink of light. The writer Terry Cunningham and the sufferer Steven Conway have managed to combine to produce an easily readable and thoroughly engrossing biography which paints a vivid picture of the horror of this little recognised condition and it's effects on not only the sufferer but just about everyone they come into contact with. It is indeed a sad story but it is nevertheless full of humour,love and hope and every single reader will learn from the shared experience. It should be compulsory reading for anyone involved in the medical or supporting services and everyone involved in the business of life. I hope i haven't left anyone out. Read it - you will not regret it.

3.0 out of 5 stars if you have a weekend to spare....., 10 Nov 2007
By Peter Creedon (essex.uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

then read this book,it wont enlighten you if you are social phobic like me,it may help if you are a partner or mother of a phobic to try and understand the torment we face everyday.
to be honest i bought it as it says steve eventually frees himself of a life of sa..having had it myself for 30 years i wanted to know the "magic cure"...please dont waste your money thinking there is a magic cure at the end of the book,keep seeing your therapist and keep on taking the ssris is my advice.
its only 151 pages long and the words are printed rather large,so it could of been kept as a pocket book guide,but then you pay less,mmm a cynic moi?
some parts are hard to beleive that it was put in to add a bit of theatre to it all,.
all in all a good read as i say for a weekend but you will put it down and be none the wiser about a cure if a sufferer....

5.0 out of 5 stars "WILL GIVE HOPE TO ALL SUFFERERS", 19 Sep 2008
"WILL GIVE HOPE TO ALL SUFFERERS"

This is what I have waited years for a book written by someone who has suffered a lifetime of social phobia and tried every cure going. It's written from the heart. Steve Conway knew all the big name stars of the 1960's He even took Frank Sinatra for a spin in his new sports car, but because of his phobia he ends up begging on the streets with his dog and you will feel as I did that your walking those streets with him and his faithful friend. After 40 years he finds a cure that only a sufferer could discover. I warn you you'll laugh and cry your way through this strange incredible story. If you ever read this Steve you went through hell on earth but I'm so pleased you made it, you give hope to all sufferers.
