I'm not. I had actually hoped to continue using weed after I quit everything else, but then out of nowhere I started having massive anxiety attacks every time I smoked and edibles were even worse. Not fun.

Alcohol was definitely the biggest one. I regularly binge drank from my late teens onward and by the time I quit it had become almost nightly. On top of that, I'd occasionally abuse cocaine, Xanax, Aderall, and molly… but quitting those was as simple for me as staying away from certain environments. (Thankfully, I was never interested in oxycontin or heroin because they were both readily available.) Alcohol, on the other hand, was everywhere and I did fall off the wagon a few times early on and tell myself that this time I'd keep it under control. But it's been almost three years now since my last drink and I'm in a much better place these days.
The only thing I haven't successfully quit is nicotine
I did switch from cigarettes to vaping and now to the pouches, as a form of harm reduction, but I'm still hoping to be rid of it entirely someday.

Wow, that's a lot but well done you for staying away. I don't mean to be patronising
but I'm in awe of people who quit anything addictive. I guess I'm lucky in that most of those substances weren't available when I was young. Realistically they probably were but they just weren't in my circle thankfully.
Alcohol is the one drug that seems to be socially acceptable and yet it can cause so much chaos to the user and everyone around them.
I quit smoking about 15 years ago after a much younger colleague had a heart attack at work, I literally quit the next day, a better deterrent I can't imagine!
I hate smoking now, hate the smell of cigarettes on people. I get the odd craving once or twice a year but I'll never smoke again.

I don't ever remember it being fun, I remember the anxiety and the paranoia. I had a similar experience with mushrooms whereby I recall the surreal experience and in the moment hilarity but the fear and flashbacks remain the main experience for me. The person I did it with had a totally different and more positive experience though!
