Drug addiction help

Ok so I wouldn't say I am an addict or really had an addiction problem. My problem lies with the fact that I have done many drugs over the last few years without really abusing but I am worried about the problems it may have caused. I am an athletic 19 year old who takes vitamins on a regular basic along with fish oil, ginkgo biloba, etc. But for about a few years I was an almost daily pot smoker and about a year into that I begun experimenting with other drugs. From the time I was about 16-17 I have done ecstasy about 9-10 times roughly, cocaine 9-10 times, shrooms about 5 times, opiates a handful of times and smoked meth about twice. I was also diagnosed with adderall and although I don't take it on a regular basic I have taken it for studying and school as well as abused it recreationally. I also drink on the weekends for the most part because I am a freshman in college and its hard not to when my peers all do it. I don't touch hard drugs anymore as I am a hypochondriac and worry about my health. I also only smoke pot on occasion now.
   Basically what I am wondering is if I have created any long term damage or if my damage to my neurotransmitters is significant? I managed to do fine in high school keeping a 3.0 and am doing better in college when I apply myself while still making it to the gym to workout and play basketball when I can. I know I have done numerous drugs for fun and drank a good in amount in my life but this has all happened at a fairly younger age and I am still hoping I can heal from it. I have bought some piracetam and choline to help aid me if any damage has been done as well.

Any input? Is that enough to cause permanent long term damage if I never really became addicted to it or even crave certain drugs for that matter? Help is appreciated!

Thanks.

I agree with newmanagment but I do so with reservation because when I first tested my liver functions I found out they were okay and with relief I went back to using. You are young, you've been doing a variety of drugs  since you were 16-17 that shows more than a passing interest. You have a lot of years a head of you and yes injury is an achievable goal!

I would think that you have not done any long term damage, specially since your drug use is minimal compared to most here. Only issue I would think may be the X, it can cause flashbacks and mild hallucinations, but i seriously doubt that will even be any kind of problem. just keep on your game, dont let ANY  drugs or alcohol to control your life, and enjoy the time in college bro.
