I started binge-drinking (not too often) when I was 16 and I started smoking weed when I was 18. I free-based heroin, smoked salvia, and tripped on mushrooms several times apiece when I was 19-20. I probably drank at least a bottle of DXM 30 times in a span of eight months. When I was 23 I mixed pieces of xanax with booze probably 10 times. From 24-26, I did ecstasy and acid roughly 15 times each, and coke about 10 times. I stopped smoking weed and everything else about half a year ago. I rarely drink anymore too. Life is sad when your confidence is crushed and you have little to live for.

So to answer your question, it took me almost a decade to turn things around, and I feel pretty damn good. Good diet and exercise will make a world of difference. Mindset and passion is key too. I'm always reading and trying to memorize/recite facts and that is a tried-and-true method to improving your cognition.

Do I regret it? Mostly, but I wouldn't be where I am today if I didn't do all that stupid stuff. I'm thankful I don't feel retarded.
