I dont consider my self straight edge. But i never use anything. I do not even touch tylenol when i get a headache. I do not see the point in getting waisted or tipsy or high. I rather just no what is going on, and be fully aware what i am doing. To me that is better then being all sloppy.

I also hate when people preach it. Keep it to you, no reason to go out and try to sound better then alot of people. And the funny thing with C.M PUNK, he got into a buisness that is surrounded by drugs, partying after shows and steroids.

I'm not straight edge. I enjoy drinking, smoking and taking the occassional drug. I've known straight edge people. Some of them are cool, some are preachy annoying like with any walk of life.

I can honestly say that I have never smoked, drank or did any kind of drugs for all of my life, and that's all by choice. I have never felt or needed to be drunk or high to have a good time or to relax or to fit in with anyone. And I sure as hell didn't just start because CM Punk was preaching it (I didn't even know who Punk was 21 years ago lol) And luckily all of my friends respect that and dont try to pressure me into it. Theres a few jokes here and there but it's all fine. I mean Ill hang out with people who are drinking but as long as they arent trying to get me too I could careless. As for the whole sex thing, I haven't had it yet to begin with ( ) but when I do finally have it, it's going to be with someone I'm in a relationship with. I also dont look down on people who do drink or smoke. Its their life and if they want to do that then its on them. I choose to be straight edge because I dont need or want to be a part of it. What really grinds my gears is when people claim they're straight edge because they're clean. There is a difference. Clean = being clean, no desire to do anything, while allowing one self to possibly partake in drinking/smoking, etc Straight edge= Being clean, but taking on the responsibility of never doing any of it. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't do drugs to get high. I Do take prescription medication, because i need to, like ADD medication and anti-depressants, but I don't abuse them. I don't have promiscuous sex. I've only had sex with 2 girls in my life, both whom I was in a relationship with. I don't claim to be straight edge to be cool, I'm straight edge because it's whats best for me. I also have never touched any of the "poisons" I have been clean for all my life and decided I will be for the rest of my life. Much respect for you sir, couldn't have worded it any better... (even though I tried lol)

Now now, yes I know this will probably end in arguments and crap, but hey, lets maybe try and keep it easy going, atleast for the first few posts This subject is weird, I mean there are many of this board that claim to be 'Edge', however my question is, for those that say they are, why? Why have you chosen this lifestyle? I still consider myself sXe even though I'm no longer into metal and punk as I was when I was younger. As a teen, I thought people made crappy decisions because of drugs and alcohol. As a nearly middle-aged man, I believe that more than ever. My life (and the lives of those I care about) is better because I don't use recreational drugs, drink, or smoke. sXe, while it has a core, has numerous variations. To me, it's always been important to help people break away/stay away from the drug/alcohol culture.

Wait... I just got prescribed some tablets from the doctor for this terrible cough I've had. Would that mean that I'm not "Straight edge"? Ignoring sound medical advice isn't sXe, it's stupid. sXe is about controlling your life by making sound decisions.
