I've done every drug except heroin and crack. I like pain pills ie Oxys,hydros 2 much so I know I would love heroin. Currently in an outpatient rehab for my drinking so I'll be clean and sober 4 30 days. On day 10 drug and alcohol free. Sober life ain't that bad. A lil boring but I'm adjusting 2 it.
You'll figure that shit out. I abstain completely from drugs and alcohol, but that's what works for me. If we are talking harm reduction, just stick to the herb yo'.
Also, no disrespect, but if you stay clean for a bit or start hitting meetings old heads will hit you with this "Is being clean/sober boring or are you boring?"
I used to think I couldn't have fun or get through the day without something, now I just do different things and if I want to kick it with people who still party, I just lay in the cut. I wouldn't advise that in the early stages, as you need more than a month to get some perspective and start figuring out what it is you want or like to do, and oredom can be a motherfucker.
For me the biggest thing is freedom. I took wild chances with my freedom--that in hindsight didn't pay off--now I'm free to do whatever I want and that can be overwhelming. Anyhow, utilize that freedom and extra time to your best of your ability and see where it takes you.
