Any Straight Edge in here?

[Avril]

I quit drinking since forever ago, never smoked, never done drugs. I feel like it would exacerbate my issues. Drinking made me feel sad, especially alone.

If there are any of you, y'all are tough as nails. I'm 8 years on, still fighting inside, no anti depressants no nothing. I hope y'all escape the hell soon or go as peacefully as possible, whichever works.

Just know I love you, you brave, good souls. I love this underground punk culture. And I will forever be a part of it.

You aren't alone in this fight. Hopefully, a glimmer of hope for us someday appears.

I was clean mostly for 8 years. Had my nose the grindstone as they say. Then my amnisia wore off, and elements of my past, as well as condition came back to me. Started using legal stuff again to cope. Yes alcohol really will make me ball. I have noticed that too. I haven't gone underground for substances though. Lest thing I need is that kind of trouble.

Didn't know there's whole society for that. I mean, i keep myself "chemically clean" but not due to my beliefs but more due to how i'm built.
Tried smoking once, almost puked my guts out, never tried again and actively avoid smoking people. It stinks af and costs ungodly amount of money, giving nothing in return.
Never did any drugs. My mind is fucked up enough on its own. Don't need any shady chemicals accidentally deepening that state.
Literally hate taste and smell of alcohol. Tried different types and brands - they all taste so bad i do not intend to pay any money for it and then torture myself with it, even if it's free. You can keep cakes and sweets with alcohol too. Not touching that. And keep drunk people away from me. Enough sober morons running around. Don't need more.
