be straight edge

I usually dont talk about me being straight edge but here it goes. I grew up with a father who was a drug addict and an alcoholic, and my mom was also an alcoholic. Being young I grew up around older people, and I seen all the stupid things they’ve done. When I was 16 I vowed to be straight edge, it felt natual to me and it felt powerful. Drinking, smoking, doing drugs, and premiscues sex isn’t me, you might call me a boring person but to me it feels right. I’m now 20 and still straight edge. About 2 years ago I also stopped taking persciption and over the counter drugs, and you can’t beat the music either. If your not into the straight edge scene then how can you be straight edge?

poison…...don’t want it don’ need it….

I think straight edge is more relevant (lack of a better term) for those who have been pretty heavy into substance in the past.

I don’t wish to discuss that past, but I’ve been completely sxe for seven months. Not a thing has touched my system, and I lack casual sexual affairs as well.

It isn’t for everyone, but for me it’s been beautiful. Totally worth it, and I plan/hope to never go any other way.

but when the pressure starts building, I want to be every bit as confident as I am now that I am my own person and I don’t have to conform to society’s whims.

it’s not a label , it’s a lifestyle.

Don’t sell out, be sxe.

:]

I dunno, I just cant see a reason in being straight edge, I have realized that I do have willpower, and I think being straight edge was just my way of proving that to myself. I mean, I respect people’s decision to be straight edge, and if you have that whole addiction problem, then yea, straight edge is a great thing. But, I have given up with this being straight edge. Cheers to all you that are straight edge, and I hope you have made the right choice for you, for me, I like drinking every once in awhile, and I like smoking some weed every once and awhile…

Here is the deal, I have now been in this for about a month, and I’m honestly fine, But I am begining to think of maybe changing my posision a bit. for me, Alcohol, yea it can really ruin lives, and I’ve seen it happen, I am not easily addicted to it though, as I used to drink and have never felt the need to do so. Tobacco, Another easy one, It does NOTHING for me, you get no real benefits to it, I’ve smoked, and I feel nothing leaving it behind. Drugs, Yea, again, very easy… mostly, here is my deal. I honestly Dont consider Marijuana a drug. I have not been using… BUT I think that things like promiscuous sex, and alcohol, and tobacco, cocaine, meth, these are dangerous thing, these things can RUIN your life. but with Marijuana, its not so, as long as your responsable and dont drive, how does it hurt you? its completely Non-Addictive, and thus, you wont use it alot, at least I never used it very often, so that whole, worse than tobacco thing is out, because tobacco makes you want it more, and more… so whats wrong with marijuana?

I have not been using, for 2 reasons…
1. am working on getting a job, and thus more than likely I’ll have to pass a drug test to do this.

2. I’ve been giving this FULLY sXe thing a try.

so far, the no alcohol thing really has helped me though, if someone offers me a beer, If I know them, I’m just like, “Dude, cmon, its me” then their like, “Oh yea, sorry forgot” and if I dont know them, I just decline.

but, with marijuana, I dunno, I’m thinking I might start smoking again, once I get a steady job, and dont have to worry about taking drug tests, I mean, then as long as I’m not at work, whats wrong?

I guess this will make me “NOT” sXe, but I guess too me, I am, I wont go around saying I am, just because I realize I am breaking a rule, and that is that most people consider marijuana a drug. But do you consider Tylenol a drug? which it is, and do you take it for headaches? are you still straight Edge? exactly, thats pretty much how I see it about marijuana, I wont be taking it for headaches, but I mean, If its a special night, Like I get to hang with my friends I havent seen in awhile, or something And I dont have any responsabilities, is it so wrong to smoke a lil bud?

Please leave comments, I wanna hear what you think…

just commited completley to this lifestyle about 3 days ago. Had been thinking about it for quite sometime, and have realized that for me… Its deffinetly the right thing to do. I refuse to be a stereotypical SxE though, because alot of my friends are potheads, and drinkers, and I love hanging with them, when their drunk, or stoned, or when their sober. and I know alot of them say how they hate SxE because “they” are either pushy, or think they are better. I dont think that at all, I just know that for me personally to be happiest, that SxE is the right thing for me.

I’m actually Christ Edge, but the only difference is that I’m Christian and straight edge, whereas some folk are simply Straight Edge. It’s worth doing just because it’s altogether a good choice. You’ll more than likely live longer and/or enjoy you’re time on Earth to it’s fullest because you wont be hurting yourself. The choice of being straight edge is completely based on your morals, so nobody can force you into it. It’s helped me a lot as a person and I encourage anybody else who wants to do it.
