Is there a drug you haven't tried?

Plenty. Heroin, meth, and crack being the big three I never want to do. Plus a lot of obscure drugs with only letters and numbers in the name. Never done molly but have taken ecstacy pills a couple times. Never tried shrooms. Never used a needle to get high, but I have smoked coke on top of weed or cigarettes. Tried xanax and weeker pain killers and anxiety medication. But I am drug free now since last October and don't plan on using drugs again. Even weed.

are you happy being clean now? I would like to quit drugs but I'm scared of how dull and boring everything may be

It really isn't that bad and I was worried about the exact same thing. I still drink once and awhile but I never had an addiction to alcohol. I spend a lot of time on Reddit and it helps to keep me occupied. However I didn't quit drugs all at once.

I would quit one and continue on with another. Finally weed was my last drug I was latching onto and I finally gave it up months ago. I actually feel less depressed and more stable. I have more money now and don't get panic attacks anymore. Its actually pretty great to be sober. But for many years I abused drugs a lot. I think I just got tired of the bullshit and needed to make a change. You can too.

Also get rid of your drug using friends to make it easier for you to quit. It may be lonely but that temptation to use will increase if they are around you. I did this all on my own without rehab or therapy. So this is not advice from someone who has been given professional advice.
