New to this forum and to recovery

The first bit isn't exactly true, I remember searching this forum in desperation looking for tips on how to find heroin when my dealer's connection dried up. That was over 10 months ago. I've been clean and sober ever since (in a suboxone program), and I'm doing pretty good, got myself into therapy to deal with the issues I was self-medicating with opiates, benzos, and anything else I could get my hands on.

What I'm interested in now are nootropics and research chems - just want to learn about safer alternatives for when I need a bit of a boost but nothing too crazy or intoxicating. I'm not sure yet what I would consider relapsing, but I'm sure there are some mild alternatives out there for anxiety, focus, etc. for when my psych meds just aren't cutting it.

Anyways that's me - I'm from Boston, sing in a barbershop quartet, and love horror and true crime podcasts. Hi everyone!

Hi fox, congratulations on getting on subs and even more for trying to deal with what led you down a path you didn't want to be on. Early on while you are trying to tackle dependence on a drug it can be a very slippery slope to dive into new substances so tread carefully in your thinking.

A barbershop quartet, eh? I love harmony but never got the hang of it!
