introducing
You likely don’t want to be here, and I get it completely.
If I had it my way, and in a perfect world, there would be no need for a guide like this at all. In a perfect world, drugs that we trusted would not harm their users. They would not harm our bodies, harm our families and destroy our bank accounts and homes.
But they do.
My goal with the creation of The Benzo Survival Guide is to help those seeking a way out of the destructive benzodiazepine cycle. Using knowledge, mindset, and the untapped power of our own bodies we can work together for a benzo free life.

A Deeper Dive
the details
This course will start by delving into how many, if not all of us, fell into the benzo trap in the first place. We all have a story, and I’ll briefly share mine in order to let you know I am one of you!
We will explore the most valuable of resources to benzo users, the Ashton Manual. Together we will also look into the staggering contraindications and side effects of just being on benzodiazepines.
We will go over a brief history of benzodiazepines, and how they have become a global issue. We will also examine from a scientific viewpoint how these drugs are often negatively altering your body and mind.
Together we will tackle what many of you came here for, hard facts about Benzodiazepine Withdrawal Syndrome. We will explore the most common physical symptoms of benzo withdrawal as well as the possible neurological symptoms.

My name is Matt Riddle, and I’ll be your host for this program, The Benzo Survival Guide. If you are like me, burned by benzodiazepines and those who prescribed them, your trust may be in short supply. I assure you I understand. To use an old phrase, I can talk the talk, because I’ve walked the walk. After the drugs I trusted left me spiritually, financially and physically broken, I got down to the slow, steady grind of creating a new life. I had lost my career, my home and had nearly lost any remaining hope. It wasn’t easy, picking up all the broken pieces. I had to close many of the doors of my past in order to open new ones, and it proved to be both painful and cathartic. There were more bumps in the road than I can recall, but in the end I was still standing, benzo free. Years later, and with a new awareness and a new appreciation of the scope of the issue, I created the Benzo Survival Guide as a personal response.

Meet matt
I truly believe I was pulled out of the pit, and once out, it is now my full intention to fight for others. My hopes were to let those in the endless cycle of benzodiazepine use and withdrawals break these harmful patterns once and for all. I made every imaginable mistake in handling my withdrawals, and my wish and prayer is to spare others the same pain. Together we can face benzodiazepine use and withdrawals head on and holistically, and in the end, successfully. There’s no better time than now, so you decide: day one, or one day?
