<3 I have the phenibut use under control. Every day for almost 3 years. I take breaks sometimes (Few weeks - Months).

My mom takes 1-2 week breaks from alcohol. My dad drinks heavy. I'm afraid that they will both die soon.

It's understandable that people use during the pandemic because it increases preconditioned stress (Like how marijuana can trigger predisposed psychosis).

Just be mindful of the drinking. Too much = recovery position or letting someone know to make sure that you're safe. Harm reduction is key.

Is there a God or spirituality? Idk.. But he/it seems to help greatly for people to quit.. Doing the best you can, - Not to think too much but tweak your reality using a spoon to stir it once every while, then relax and maintain it again. If thinks **** up really badly, take another break, then try again.
