Re: I Just Can't Anymore!
Be happy for yourself. They'll have to drag me off stage when they figure out I made a matching tinfoil hat for that silver lame camo print suit in the Stripper Clothes Hall of Shame thread. They'll have to terminate my naked ass...
Naw, just kidding. Seriously, this is a biz to TOTALLY quit while you're ahead.
Re: I Just Can't Anymore!
Aww...at least you finally said that you didn't want to go back. I'm sure it was a hard decision to make, but if you're happier this way then it's all that matters!
You know I'd support you no matter what! Now I've just gotta make that drive next week and do it for both of us!
I'm glad you're happy with the new job, though. :)
Re: I Just Can't Anymore!
Be happy for yourself. You found a job you like and are good at. Your post just said to me that youre in a comfortable place right now in your life so enjoy it. At least you know now what is the right path for you.
So in the mean time work on your body like you want to. No time limit pressure or seeing other girls and how skinny they are..its just you and all you.
Re: I Just Can't Anymore!
Hey, I think it's great that you figured out what's best for you! Nothing wrong with not being a stripper, lol- why would anyone be mad?
Re: I Just Can't Anymore!
CF i did the same thing. I left and went back over and over again, then got involved in escorting because i got used to the money and knew the adult entertainment business pretty damn good.
Then i made up my mind, and left for good. It ended with the private parties and me slowly dropping them. I guess i kinda weaned myself out which may be easier for some.
But good for you. Stripper or not, we are still great business people in the jobs we chose!
Lotsa luck, sounds like you are doing great with this job you have now ;)

Amen!
Re: I Just Can't Anymore!
Yeah, I am comfortable right now I suppose. Well, more than I was...
Re: I Just Can't Anymore!
(I am secretly very jealous)
CF, good luck to you! And in the nick of time too! Az in the summer season with a bad gut feeling about it all....no thanks!
Well if you do move to Phx, I will most likely still be strapping on the thong, come say hello!
Re: I Just Can't Anymore!
I am definitely moving to Phoenix; school's up there. R is doing some interviews up in Phoenix on Monday. So it's just a matter of when, and since the bankruptcy allows the mortgage company to take the house soon, it might be 6-8 weeks.
Re: I Just Can't Anymore!
CF, I feel ya.
I still have episodes where it suddenly seems like a terrific idea to go down to the local club and pick up a few shifts....
But something shifted in me a while ago, and I know in my heart that it ain't gonna happen.....It's like kicking an addiction. Sometimes you might get nostalgic for the pipe or the powder and the crazy times you had when you were lost in the Wilderness...but at some point, you cross an invisible line where using again is no longer a "viable option," as they say in the 12-step programs....
Good luck to you, sweetie. Based on those pictures you posted recently, you still look incredibly hot, and you could totally go back if you wanted to. (And that's the important thing, right? ;))
Re: I Just Can't Anymore!
Good for you ! No matter what you are doing , sometimes it's just time to move on. Change is good!The important thing is being happy. We suppport you 100%. Right girls?
Re: I Just Can't Anymore!
Gawd, I swear. I don't know which is the harder addiction to kick: stripping or vicodin :( They both seem on par so far, but I know I truly don't really need nor want to go back to the club anymore.
Re: I Just Can't Anymore!
Good for you, CF- happiness first!
I had one of my panic things at work the other night, and I just about walked out of dancing for good. I had this thought "wow, this ain't for me, this is the worst feeling in the world, I'm gonna die, why do I do this if I hate it?". But then I had a string of custys who didn't bother me and the feeling passed...but those occasional freak-outs remind me that my dancing days are numbered.
It's not a job for everyone, and there's nothing wrong with it not being right for you (or me, or any lady out there who doesn't like it).
Re: I Just Can't Anymore!
Well, I suppose it used to be right, but I was never going to be a "lifer" :P
Re: I Just Can't Anymore!
Good luck with your new job. Everyone here will eventually retire and enjoy life ;)
