Good for you BC. I stopped drinking and doing any hard drugs this past summer. I find the decision to be more rewarding as time goes on.

Basically all I am saying is this.
Being straight edge is adhering to a list of rules. If you do not agree with those rules, which you do not, then you do not need to become straight edge.
The rules may not make sense to you, but they do to me.
To be straight edge you must
1. not drink alcohol or do drugs 2. exceptions to this rule are caffeine, prescription medications, and OTC meds
Someone that is straight edge can therefore be hit by a bus and take oxycodone if it is prescribed by a doctor. You may think that is too lenient and that is your choice to think that way.
If you think the fact that straight edge people drink caffeine is hypocritical, contradictory and makes no sense, you can start your own group where you are not allowed to consume any drugs at all.
However, although straight edge people do not consume drugs, there are exceptions to that rule that I listed. The exceptions do not even make sense and I will admit that.
But to me, plain and simple caffeine is something that people drink and it is not in the same league as drinking alcohol.
Rehabs make those assessements too. They let you smoke and drink coffee, and coffee and nicotine are drugs! You assumed rehab was drug free right? Well those are the exceptions and they also let you take prescription meds.
If you do not agree with those exceptions, go to another rehab that has zero tolerance to cigarettes and caffeine and prescription meds.

Here is a good example.
Vegetarian vs. Vegan
Vegetarians do not eat meat, fish and poultry.
Vegans are vegetarians that abstain from the use of all animal products. Including, milk, cheese ect.
You may think one makes more sense then the other, and it is your choice to be either one or do something that is half way in between.
None of this actually make sense. These are guidelines that vegetarians and vegans abide by based on a set of values and reasons.
If one person thinks that getting drunk all the time is not as bad as having a cup of coffee, they can make their own group that goes by that idea. Nobody is here to argue with that.

Every day of sobriety is better then the last.
But ya, I forgot what it was like to be sober. Life when I was younger was so amazing and beautiful and when I started doing drugs things were good but honestly not as great as before I first touched them. To have a clear and crisp and bright outlook now is so much better then a cheap high.

I thought they were against self-indulgent sex.
I'm pretty sure you're just making this up as you go along. Are there actual rules to this, or is it just a little cult of one you just set up with you as the leader and follower?

"Can Straight Edge kids have sex? Every day if they want to. But lot’s of people use Straight Edge as an excuse to not have sex, and that’s not healthy."
They can fuck bro
But ya, I have not touched an illegal drug including weed for 14 months, no smokes for at least 5 months, only thing I fucked with was kratom and that was well over a month ago and I am done with it now.
I am super proud of myself.

So it's kinda like the rules that people in AA/NA live by, only you take more drugs as long as it is condoned by authority, and you're super edgy?
It's fuckin' weird man, but have fun. You seem to get off on being an outsider, which I can relate to, but I don't see why if you want to be part of the sxe movement, you're here filling us in on all these minor details. Wouldn't talking to other sXe be more conducive to your personal growth?
Are you attempting to convert us, or do you maintain that this is just a personal lifestyle choice and not something you're looking to force on others?

You can't smoke as straight edge. But ya it pretty much is what a rehab is like.
But this is not a choice I made. I did not find straight edge, straight edge found me.
I am not trying to convert anyone, but I am gonna obviously strut my feathers a little bit because I am excited about sobriety.

Hey, if he wasn't superior he would just say that he is going to abstain from drugs other than the ones his doctor prescribes, but that would be too easy to for us common people to understand and the exact opposite of edgy.

Do you not realize how obnoxious you sound? Have some fucking humility. You didn't invent anything, you didn't rescue a drowning child. You didn't volunteer to help the needy. You stopped taking drugs you shouldn't have been taking to begin with, and instead of helping others do the same you have chosen to bask in your mediocrity. There are tons of people of this site who are "straight edge" but they don't make a big deal about it. They don't give it a fancy label. They just do it for themselves. You do it for the label. Go away.

So BC, when you say that you skip days for T-Breaks, I bet YOU being a former JUNKIE doubles up once in awhile because there would be extra pills that you did not take. Taking a T-Break to get the rush again when it isn't "working" isn't straight edge. It's called getting high. ADD/ADHD no matter what you have, stims make you feel good. Deny all you want. You're in hardcore denial. I KNOW FOR A FACT if you're doc found that out he would say bye bye to your script in a heartbeat.

I love this line:
Quote:
I have done it all and now it is time to man up and stop fucking with drugs and move on and be "normal".
Apparently taking a poorly defined abstinent punk scene to describe yourself, even though he is not part of that scene, and nobody he interacts with here is buying it, is "normal" where he is from.
I feel kinda bad, I don't like to see people so ostracized, but clearly being antagonized is something BC craves. I'm pretty sure he is some sort of psychological masochist, and I know a thing or two about that

Someone who is serious about changing themselves isn't interested in exploiting loopholes in the rules. People who follow the letter of the law don't break the law because they don't want to get caught. People who follow the spirit of the law don't break the law because they think it's wrong.
