    Default hanging up my heels. For good.

    I am never ever ever again going to be a stripper. It's just to distructive for me. It effects my self esteem, happiness, sexuality, comfort, mood, brain......

    the money is not enough to be worth it any more.

    I know it's harder to have a conventional job, and to make less money, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make for my own well being. And I'm really proud of myself.

    Dancing is clearly very hard on some people's psyche. It's very cool when people are able to be honest with themselves, and know when enough is enough. Good luck in the future.

    It's your life Lola, and you should do what's right for *you*.

    The very best of luck with whatever you decide to do.

    A regular job doesn't necessarily mean less money if one is so unhappy stripping that they hardly do it. And when they do, they don't save. And when they spend, they spend it on unecessary things to fill the void. Girl, I understand completely.

    You will do just fine with a regular job.

    Congrats on the realization. I remember that you wanted to do childcare and development or doula training. How is that going for you?

    so true. SOOO true! Besides, a real job means less time to spend all your money

    Pretty good. I've got a lot more work to do towards becoming a doula, but I'm making progress. I'm actually thinking a little about putting that off, as we want to have children in the next year, and it'd be hard to BF and be a doula. But I'm still working on getting certified anyways. I'm also considering becoming trained to offer childbirth prep classes, b/c that'd be an easy side job with a infant. And some nice extra money

    Your health and well being ALWAYS come first. That is why I quit dancing too. It wasn't for me, I wasn't making the money I deserved and my drinking was getting out of control. I started feeling like shit and said I'm not doing it anymore.

    Good luck and I hope you feel better about everything too and your new job goes well.

    Congrats, Lola. In a way, this kind of surprises me, because I see you as this incredible little superstripper. And yet, it is kind of amazing, and in a introspective way, relieving, to see that Superstripper Lola Rose gets bummed out by stripping, just like Medium Stripper Teeth. I'll be honest, ever since meeting you I've thought to myself, "damn, if I had LR's hustle/ self-confidence/ charismatic cuteness/ awesome body, I'd like this job more."

    I hope this doesn't come across as a backhanded compliment; it's in no way meant to be one. I mean it more as a statement of solidarity, because I know how it feels. I wish you the best of luck with your new career... frankly, with your positive attitude and professional work ethic, you are destined to be a success in whatever you pursue.

    ya know, a couple of girls at work, on my last (half) night, said the same thing. And there was a lot of disbelief/you'll be back. lol. I don't think hustling really always goes hand in hand with being a good stripper.... that sounds weird...... but, like... ya, I'm good at it, but it still isn't for me. Like, some people are great at math, but maybe thay want to work in an entirely unrelated field......

    And thanks for saying nice things to and about me! I'm glad I help you realize you're not alone.

    (And I've often thought.... If I were only smarter and more elequent and more self-confident in myself as a person.... like teeth..... I bet I'd be able to be like her and quit and be confident in my ability to do something else! lol!)

    your post made me feel really good.

    Congrats on knowing yourself enough to make a decision that is good for you! I hung mine up because of the difficulty of balancing dancing and homelife myself. Best decision ever... May you be extremely succesful in everything you attempt!

    Good for you girl, it takes a lot of courage and strength to step away and even more not to go back.

    The money isn't worth it if it doesn't make you happy. Congratulations and best of luck to you in your future!

    Good for you Lola! I can empathize, I retired a while ago... I really, really miss the money but overall, I am more satified and happy with my life now that I'm doing something I love.

    I still contemplate going back 1-2 nights a week so i can pay off my credit card faster, but then I remember how aggravating it was for me in the end...

    Best of luck to you!

    Congrats!

    I feel exactly the way you do, but I am still trying to hang onto it and make it work for now, because dancing will allow me to reach my goals to be able to quit dancing for good.

    Guys, maybe this isn't one for us. Beyond "You do your thing Lola, we like you" none of us know what she is talking about. Not referencing any other guys who have posted, but more as a preventative measure.

    Lola, do your thing. I like you a lot and you know what your thing is. Just stay in communication, SW has lots of ex dancers.
