It was the same for me also, when I was on the G I didn't really want to drink. I did have a few drinks now and then when on G and I've lived to tell the tale, but I do agree with the line of doing one or the other, best not to risk it.
Anyway, it was seven days ago I first began tapering down the G and has now been five days since I last took any. It's hard work, three days of Phenibut helped with the withdrawals, but I've now knocked that on the head so I don't build a dependency on that also. So far, I'm not quite back to my "old" self, I'm feeling a lot of anxiety and 2ml of G would go down so well right now, but I'm getting there. In another week I really hope this nightmare will just be over and I can carry on enjoying life as I was before!
The advice and experiences posted on this forum have proved invaluable lately, so thankyou to everyone in the community for helping me (so far) to kick this ghastly habit.
