So I notice a lot of posts on here where younger people asking if they should become straight edge or even just people looking into it asking questions out of curiosity. I am a recovering addict, I abused drugs since I was 13 and quit a year and a half ago at the age of 25. After I began drinking really really heavy and gained a shit ton of weight from beer, stress, and no workout or nothing. Started going to hardcore shows again a year ago and hanging around a bunch of my buddies and the crew their in, and it inspired me to become straight edge. Although just being straight edge and committing to perseverance and sobriety doesn’t help you 100%, it’ll at least begin to put you in a right mindset. 2 years ago I was sniffing coke getting fucked up all day everyday depressed as fuck wanting to blow my head off, today I’m 6 months into being straight edge, in the gym, hitting shows and getting involved with the community literally every Friday-Sunday as those are my days off, and in a way better mind state. So if you’re thinking of doing it, do it. Just make sure you’re doing it for yourself and the right reasons, not to just be a follower or because it looks “edgy” to you. But you’ll never look back and have no regrets

My favorite part about being straight edge is getting together with all my straight edge friends and touching tips while we listen to WeaponX

If you’re spending actual money on buying duped materials and guns, you should stop playing this game. Imagine spending $40 for a bunch of guns and healing items just to lose it to a guy like me with a free loadout
