I am outspoken in my offline life as being straight edge. No I don’t bring it up unless you ask and if you do ask. I don’t try to force my life style choices on other. I decided to become a straight edge after I come the realisation that I was a raging alcoholic. Ive never really had a drug problem anything I’ve ever done I’ve actually much like sick boy from trainspotting been able to stop cold turkey. So no matter it being coke, pot, speeders, caffeine, or whatever I could stop when I wanted. The addiction cane back around when I knew I could get fucked up for free. “Why not, its not like I’m using my money.” This was the line I continued to tell myself. My biggest thing to deal with was the alcohol. I use to drink everyday and make sure I was always drunk. From drinking a half gallon of Captain Morgan a day (yes I drank that much), to drinking 12-15 Guinness in an evening. Everything came to head when I realised that I would either drink myself stupid or drink myself to suicide attempts. It wasn’t until after I got talked off a ledge ready to jump. I realised after that night I had an issue and needed to stop. So I decided to become straight edge that night/early morning. I’ve been sober now for 3 years in February the 21st marks me anniversary. Since then I’ve realised im an asshole, who is less sensative then most, and other “personality defects”. I wouldn’t change anything
