Seeing as beer has it's own thread (BadMoon's Beer Reviews) I thought it'd be nice and fair to see a thread for the good ol' Straight Edgers on this forum.
What are your reasons for being Straight Edge?
Mine's simple, my father, mother and cousin. My father abused both alcohol and drugs which sadly lead into him being aggressive and abusive towards my mother, sister and myself. It caused my mother to abuse alcohol aswell and I was very disappointed in my parents and was very sad to see they would seem to find "pleasure" in illicit substances and I grew apart from them. Then there's my cousin, who, to this day, is a heavy drug abuser. He is on everything, from weed to meth. Despite my numerous attempts to help him get rid of it, or at least get rid of the harddrugs, he is still on it and disappeared a while back into the drug "culture", hanging around alleys in Holland, sharing shots with the rest of those poor, sad people.
I personally enjoy life without getting drunk or high. I can enjoy a party just as much and I personally don't see the fun in getting so drunk to the point you risk your life, aswell as the hangover that follows.
To me, Straight Edge had a lot of good things, it brought me into liking the WWE (Thanks, CM Punk
), met my woman through it and just have a happy life. (Not saying users don't have a happy life, just stating my life is just as good.)
And please, don't come in here just to call Straight Edgers "pussies" or "idiots", I get that a lot and I respect people who use alcohol and drugs and tobacco as much as anyone else, so please respect us aswell.
On a side note, I don't do drugs, don't drink, don't smoke and don't do promiscuity. I don't listen to Straight Edge bands on a daily basis, but I do like to run around with some "drug free" shirts.
