Personally, psychedelics make me want to be a better person and change those bad habits. As long as you know that you never want to go back to that type of life that revolves around drugs, feel comfortable using one drug and leave it at just one, and you know what you get like if you start to over use. A one time trip should be fine though. I went to rehab and AA for a while and I know my limits now. I can tell when I'm doing way too much or it's starting to become more of a routine. Just be careful.

I feel ya. If you feel that you are in a good place mentally I say go for it. As long as I keep my alcohol usage low my cravings for alcohol and other drugs stay pretty low.

It's a slippery slope - if you've got an addictive personality (I do) then you know what I mean. Don't fall for the trap of thinking shrooms aren't drugs. 
But as drugs go they're absolutely the best, if you gotta have 'em.

I recommend taking a slightly higher dose so that there's no chance of getting stuck in the uncomfortable come-up and possibly having a not so good trip and wanting more. Dose once with enough to 'get you there' so there's no need to redose.
Congrats on sobriety! I have never taken many of the substances you mentioned, but from the accounts and experiences of others, I'm aware they can be tough to overcome. Stay positive, you have found a great community here within the Shroomery. If you're having troubles, there's always someone here you can talk to.
Welcome to the Shroomery

I'm in the same boat as you. Been sober for almost 15 months of marijuana, pills, opiates, ecstasy and all. I still trip. Never more than once a month, because I have a life and I simply don't have time to take 6-12 hours out of the day to trip plus an extra day to recover on a regular basis.
It's never fucked with me in terms of wanting to relapse. If anything, it motivates me more to stay on track.
I find mushrooms to be more beneficial than acid, but there's nothing like a good dose of acid.

in response to both of you guys thanks for the concern I know that its a drug but I also know it holds a special place in my heart for the grounding to earth it brings may have done shrooms 4 times nothing over an eighth nd this had to be 4 years ago or so I've also experienced with lsd 4 or 5 times and these were amazing but every time I smoke pot so know sober I don't know what to do I believe I should have fun im going to be doing them during the day in a fo rest so my paranoia doesn't kick in

I like to trip in the comfort of my own home, that way if I ever need anything (food, water, blankets, clothes (or lack there of )) everything is there if I need them.
I suggest somewhere you are comfortable, or out in nature somewhere, as to feel more grounded and connected with our mother earth. If you decide to trip outdoors, you may want to be in a private place or with one or two close friends and be sure to bring plenty of water and perhaps some healty snacks to munch on. I read that some people get headaches after tripping and many say it's because of dehydration. Tripping puts a strain on your body, giving you energy and perhaps making you work and play harder than you would in everyday life.
I like to have a towel handy incase my eyeballs and nose start leaking. It's no fun rolling your head around on a snot and tear soaked pillow.
As for a good time, I like to dose around 9pm myself, but if you have responsibilities the next day, whatever time fits your schedule. Just remember that you may not be able to sleep for several hours on the come down.
Do a little research, ask more questions to perhaps prepare you and your mind for tripping.

Whatever makes you comfortable, but for me, it's this:
Mushrooms - Night. If I trip during the day, when people are awake and out and about, I get very uncomfortable. I might get an important phone call. Turning off the phone is simply not an option. I need to wait until the end of the day, when everything is done, in order for me to trip comfortably.
LSD - Day. Definitely day. I'm more clear headed and thus more comfortable with the idea of people. This usually takes an exceptional amount of planning compared to mushrooms. I need to absolutely make sure I have nothing going on that day, and that nobody would call me, although I still can't turn off the phone. I also need to plan an extra day to recover, because I will be exhausted. I can't trip on this drug at night because it lasts entirely too long and I won't be able to sleep the next day.
