I was straight edge once....
Worst 20 minutes of my life!
Worst 20 minutes of my life!
despite fugazi being my favourite band. no.
i just stated nofx cause of what the letters stand, for i used to be hard in the punk/hardcore seen many of my mates where xstraightx (9lc if you heard of them). Still love a hardcore gig Terror and Mindsnare always get me pumped.
i dont mind telling my story, aslong as someone gets the message.. 'hard drugs stuff you up..big time'... im not a preecher by any means, but will tell my story if i think it will help... i could never date someone that smokes,drinks or does drugs... i may be single for ever.. lol..
thanks mate... im not perfect i use to do drugs and drink and smoke when i was younger wasnt till i turned 20 that i gave up. i new i was going down the wrong path and needed to change im just glad i did now im nearly 26 and couldnt be prouder of who i am.thanks mate... i admire your strength.. something i didnt have.. at 17 i let a girl i liked(older than me,i looked up to her) start shooting herion in my arm just so i could get in her pants.. worst mistake of my life.. i O.D. first shot she gave me..& still had my arm out the next day for more... thats how addictive herion is.. peer pressure is a hard thing to fight at 17yo.. everyone else was doing it in the room.. i said know for months at first but then gave in as my gf was spending my whole paycheck on the stuff... i soon took the stance 'im paying, i want..' felt like i was being used for $$( & i was)...
haha i saw the misfits a few years ago to, still rock hard for 50yo dudes. Also seen Pennywise a few times. I understand the concept of straightx though i cant say i follow it. Undergound Hip hop is where im at now.
just try find something you love to take you away from something that you have a habbit of doiung , mine was music playing in a band for 4 years made me see most australia for free touring i didnt need any these things just find something you really love and go for it.haha i saw the misfits a few years ago to, still rock hard for 50yo dudes.

Any tips for such i big lifestyle change?
it's good to see people are giving positive feedback on his thread
pythons were another thing that saved my live, i owe a lot to my snake friends...
When you think of it, it'd be pretty hard and pointless putting crap on someone for living a clean healthy life lol.
But I'm sure somewhere lurking on the forum there is some one trying to find a way to bring the thread down lol.

good on you.. im sober 7 years... after 3 x 2 month stints in RPA in 03-04 & having to sign paper work incase the operations went bad & they had to amputate my legs(from injecting in my feet) i finnally woke up to my self.. i was a herion addict for 14 years, homeless for 5 years & lived on the street in redfurn/newtown..i got as low as you can go... but dug myself out of that hole... i have a hatred that cuts deep when i see junkies now, i cant believe that was me once..that i was that STUPID... live & learn... ive never been a drinker, i watched an uncle drink 2 bottles of black douglas a day till he died in his own bed one day... turned me off alcohol.. my grandfather was an alcoholic most of his life aswell but he got sober for his last 20 years of his life after his son died... at 32yo i had to start my whole life again... very hard to do..
i used to go on those to.. lol.. i lived in richmond, in 93 & 96.. i lived in a house with a few bands down there.. warpspasm,beenflipper & damaged(death metal band).....
american crap...lol..only good bands out of the US in that time were suicidal tendencies,dead kennedys.. may be a few more... english mate.. exploited,choas uk,chaotic dischord,the macc lads... hardcore '82' was the year it all started...
That's hardcore, man. Following your other comments about turning down the drugs and getting yourself straight though...my hat's seriously off to you. The ex-heroin addicts I know can't even be near their old friends because they're worried they'll slide back. I think that's pretty damn amazing of you to be able to see them and turn down the drugs.
You'd know Bucky and those guys then. Also, Seumas says hi.
Couldn't agree more. UK Subs, Crass (going to see Steve Ignorant in June, yeah!), Conflict....
Wow... some amazing life changing stories here! I've never done hard drugs, alcohol, etc to the extreme.. but being involved in the gang scene overseas I have touched them all at one point, never addicted though. Fighting was more of a problem for me, I just loved the adrenalin (I blame that on my youth ).. Martial Arts took that edge off for me.. gave up the rest after I got engaged as I didn't want my loved ones anywhere near any of that. But you guys who have gone through hell and come out on top, I applaud you!
