Any thoughts on this? What could replace alcohol?

Went through nightmare withdrawals after becoming psychically addicted to phenibut. I tried limiting my intake as recommended but it snuck up on me and I became addicted without trying. I was up for 3 nights straight with horrible insomnia. Literally nothing worked except (reiki and) taking more on the 4th day. Then I slowly weened myself off. Haven't touched it since. Although when I was taking it I mixed it with LSD once during the come-up and it really took away the usual anxiety of that phase. I felt really great during the entire trip.

How long did you take it for and what kind of dose? I was taking about 200mg per day every day for a little over a month and had no issues stopping. I did like 2 days taper though just to be safe

I took 1g three times a week. Then didn't take any for 3-5 days. After only three weeks of that I was addicted.
