Something more exciting coming along.
My DOC has changed several times over the years, based on my varying wants and health needs and social activities and room in my life for being a trashbag and a lot of other factors. I'm a very sporadic dabbler these days, but generally use the same substance each time.
If something emerged on the market that was similarly or more enjoyable, that had a side effect/risk profile I was comfortable with, that had an equal or shorter recovery time, and that I could access easily, I'd probably switch to that.
As for quitting for good, I've always imagined that that would happen when I just couldn't be bothered any more. I've been through periods of using various things excessively and I'm kinda over the impact that had on my life. If I started feeling the same way about my occasional use, I'd probably just stop and find another way to entertain myself on those occasions.
(Disclaimer that I recognise I'm quite privileged to have gone through periods of heavy drug use and emerged without an addiction or dependency. The question of quitting or cutting down is a lot harder for many other people.)
