So I'm sitting in bed chilling, checking out all the wrestling gossip (lots of it tonight) and I thought to myself, that's a cool topic for discussion, which also happens to be a big part of my lifestyle.
So if you haven't guessed yet I'm straight-edge.
I have known of a few famous people here and there but some were surprising. None of my friends or family are straight-edge, I was curious whether we have any on WFigs.
Mostly singers and wrestlers off the top of my head...
CM Punk (obviously) Kenny Omega Nick Jackson - Young Bucks Jinder Mahal Seth Rollins (during his indy days) Jerry Lawler Rowe - War Raiders Hanson - War Raiders James Hetfield? - Metallica Tim McIlrath - Rise Against Davey Havok - AFI Chris Cerulli - Motionless In White Alissa White Gluz - Arch Enemy Dan Campbell - The Wonder Years Jeremy McKinnon -A Day To Remember Winston McCall - Parkway Drive Liam Cormier - Cancer Bats James Hart - Eighteen Visions Beau Bokan - blessthefall Toby Morse -H20 Lil Yachty Tyler The Creator Steve Aoki

I am, but not for the same reasons. My indigestion and acid reflux problems are why I don't drink. I quit smoking just cause they are like $13 a pack in Chicago. F that. And as far as drugs, I have a very addictive personality so I don't want to be an addict, which is exactly what I'd be. I hate the term and think it's a trend for image reasons, the same but different kind of thing. For the better though obviously. I don't identify to it. I just dont drink or smoke anymore.

I straight edge was for a long time but I started drinking a few years ago (not excessively like most other students, I know my limits and stick to them). I'm still adamant that I'll never smoke or do drugs though. The thought of that has never and will never appeal to me. CM Punk and Davey Havok were the two people who introduced the concept to me - I have a lot of respect for straight edge people and their willpower.

I don't label myself as straight edge. I just live what some people think is an odd lifestyle. I don't drink, smoke or use drugs. I don't eat any kind of meat. Aside from old wrestling, I don't have any interest in sports. I don't play video games. I'm not on social media (except this forum, if that counts) and I'm not religious.

I wouldn't label myself as straight edge, but I don't consume any alcohol, drugs or smoke.

Add Jerry Lawler to that list.
I've never drank, smoked or taken drugs in my life, but I don't label myself as 'Straight Edge'. I'd never even heard of the term until I started watching CM Punk on WWE in 2006. I'd read about him in magazines etc years prior but never properly watched him until he came to WWE. By that point I was 14.
If you want to count any of these as breaking the cardinal rules: When I was 10 my friend dared me to try a still lit cigarette that we stumbled upon. I did - not sure if even correctly - absolutely hated it and haven't touched one since. I've maybe had a tiny sip of alcohol, like less than a teaspoon, not even enough to actually taste it when I was younger. And the furthest I'll go with drugs is prescribed medication or a few paracetamol for a headache.
But yeah, in life I'm always known as the one who doesn't drink or anything. I take pride in it. Although whenever it comes up, the surprised reactions and questions get old really fast. It's really sad that never having had a drink of alcohol is such an alien concept to the majority of the world.

I’m not straight edge, but my lifestyle mirrors it so much that I may as well be. I don’t drink, smoke, or do drugs. I even love punk rock.

Used to be when I was a bit younger but I ''broke edge'' when I realised it made me feel quite excluded from the people around me, I have straight edge friends who I've made since and still dig the movement and many of the bands in it

No, definitely not.
I have no problem with people who are, just don't be a snob.

Not me. I use nicotine daily and usually have at least 1-2 beers in the evening.
IMO, if I was straight edge, I’d be a boring SOB.

I'm 29 and I never drank a drop of alcohol. I don't smoke either or do any drugs. Although I do chew on a tobacco pipe now and then.

you missed Triple H - he was straight edge before being straight edge was 'cool'
