Oh, well, my deepest apologies for not being hooked on something as well just so you can feel better about your utter lack of self-control and discipline?

I mean, personally, I never got into drugs because I had better things to spend my money on. Cigarettes, I eventually quit because I rather like being able to breathe without machine assistance. And I live in a place that gets humid enough to make normal breathing a fucking challenge as it is, never mind with a smoker's restricted lung capacity. And caffeine was probably contributing to my anxiety attacks, so that was over and done with.

All of those are good reasons, but having said that, straight edge people ARE kind of douchebags. [This increases exponentially if they don't enjoy punk music, since that invariably means "no, you're not straight edge, you're just a wrestling fan who worships CM Punk."]

People who are preachy about their chosen lifestyle are douchy, but if they're just living as they want without pushing it, you'll the douchebag for being preachy about your own lifestyle.

Exactly, which is the big difference. There's a difference between "I choose not to use drugs/alcohol/cigarettes" and "straight edge", as much as there's a difference between "plant-based diet" and "vegan."

Quoted from another post I made slightly downwards. There's a very big difference between "living as they want without pushing it" and "preachy about their chosen lifestyle", and one side is inherently preachy about their chosen lifestyle to the point living as they want involves "we want to be preachy about their chosen lifestyle."

Between this and your getting salty about this post without looking an ever-so-small bit downwards to see it, I can only assume you're a butthurt sXe person. In which case, are you excited about the AEW Collision debut and CM Punk's return?

I'm not whatever that is and I don't know that those are. I'm not salty, there were two ways to interpret your post and I responded conditionally.
