First trip after five years - advice for a re-starter

Hello fellow people,
I am 25 years old now and so far have tripped on cubes maybe 6-8 times 5 years ago. First dosage was about 1.5g, after that I went for 2g once and after that I always ate 2.5g and had great results. Plans to advance further into the potential of shrooms (and up the dosage to 3, maybe 3.5 grams) were shattered by loss of opportunity, difficult life circumstances and later other priorities than psychedelic experiences which goes hand in hand with the rarity of having enough time for a proper experience without pressure to function "normally" (at least 3 days, one before to prepare and one after the trip to process).
Now, at the end of my three-year training to be a nurse I heard an inner call for a psychedelic experience and decided to go for it. I ordered a ready-to-grow-kit and I see the opportunity (time-wise) on Sunday, maybe Monday to go for it (shrooms should be ready by then).
First: I never tripped alone. I had a buddy to trip with 5 years ago, now I have to trip alone. We mostly had rather introspective experiences guided by music and mostly talked after about those so we didn't really need each other as an anchor to reality (for a lack of a better word). Now I have no other choice than to trip alone. I do not fear that. I am rather curious about the differences and if it is more difficult than knowing that there is someone with you.
Second: I would like to go for 2.5-3.0g. Would that be reckless in my situation? I am rather excited (anticipation, maybe a little bit of fear of the unknown or rather not-anymore-so-well-known). I do not want to make the mistake of not taking enough and therefore not reaching the level I'd like to reach.
Third: Are there hidden dangers due to the circumstances I mentioned which I maybe did not take into account but should know of?
I wrote a lot of text, if it is too much, I am sorry. I started to tell my situation and in the end it was more than I expected to write. My main concern is the gap of five years but I would be happy to read answers concerning my other issues as well.
Best wishes Shroomcaf

2.5 - 3 grams sounds good...it's not like you haven't been there before. Lol....I tripped after a 20 yr. layoff and was fine. A little more body load than when I was younger, though.
Just pay attention to set and setting...read up on some of the advice on this site...turn off your phone, have zero responsibilities and enjoy.

It's normal to have anxiety. It will pass as soon as you remember in vivid detail exactly how cool tripping is again. 
FWIW I only trip alone anymore and for many years. Easier that way.
