    Default Am I the only stripper that...

    I don't mean to sound ignorant or judgemental but am I the only dancer that has never smoked a cigarette in my life? Doesn't drink? Or do drugs? Or smoke weed? I'm a total straight edge and being around all these things makes me feel crazy! Ugh anyone else?!

    You're not alone! Technically I'm not a stripper yet...lol...but I'm with you on the not smoking or doing drugs. I do like to have a couple drinks with my friends or a glass of wine when I go out to dinner though!
    At every vanilla job I've ever worked I've always known people who smoke/drink/do drugs, so it's not just strippers. Different strokes for different folks

    I don't smoke or do drugs, but I do have a few drinks here and there. These vices are pretty common in the service industry, not just in strip clubs though. Heck, I know nurses who took up smoking just to get smoke breaks at work!

    OP you almost say that like it's a bad thing!

    I have smoked abt 5 cigarettes in my life -- i don't understand their draw since all I got was dizzy. The occasional cigar bc it's a family tradition at funerals. Pot bc I was in a bad relationship yrs ago w/ a junkie & had not learnt to stand up for myself. I drink here&there but hard liquor just disagrees w/ my body.

    Keep yourself clean, your body will thank you for it! But I agree w/ you, it makes me nuts when it seems like every1 around me is just drunk or stoned every time I see them.

    This ^^

    I know a few girls who waitress that didn't smoke before they started the job... but in the service industry it's often the only time you'll get a break.

    As far as strippers and drugs- I feel like there is a high volume of girls that do, but they don't have the lasting career in the industry that more professional dancers do. So you'll find there's a constant influx of "party girls" but they'll only be around briefly- the girls you'll see still dancing and banking years later are typically those who entered the job with a career mindset.

    i actually smoked and did drugs UNTIL i started stripping, then systematically quit all of it. i worked briefly at dunkin donuts right before i started stripping and that was probably the most drug-filled workplace i've ever experienced working in. but i now treat my body with the utmost respect to the point where i feel guilty having a little mixed drink with a customer once a week.

    I've never tried a cigarette. I occasionally have one or two alcoholic drinks at work, but it's rare. I don't do any drugs. My club is fairly clean, most of the girls smoke pot, but drugs and getting really drunk on the job aren't tolerated.

    I've never smoked a cigarette in my life or done drugs, I'm not against either-I'm just not interested. I know A LOT of girls who are "straight edge" and work sober etc. You aren't alone, maybe your club is just a party club? Keep being healthy and sober and don't let the behaviour of other's affect you.

    That's great. You stay for focused on money. It helps if you're not in one of these clubs that push for bottle sales. I hate drinking at work. When I sell bottles, I take a few sips here and there or pretend if I can. Better yet, dump that shit when I can.

    I just hate it. Don't need it. Thank goodness. I wouldn't be able to wake up the next day. Plus I don’t want to wind up looking like those girls who look haggard with alcohol belly. Not to brag, but that's why most men think I'm in my early-mid 20's sometimes. I'm 33. In the 5-6 years that I've been dancing, I've probably gotten drunk a handful of times but worth it. $

    Cocaine is hella big in my town. Customers and girls always doing it in your face. Never done it, and never had an interest.

    You're not the only one. I think a lot of college girls doing it to pay tuition, and the 'professional dancers' who are in it to make $$ to invest for the future, usually don't do drugs/alcohol anymore than non-strippers.

    I've never smoked a thing, and I've never drank at work. I have wine occasionally OTC (like, once every 2-3 months), but that's it.

    I've never smoked. I haven't even tried it. When I was a kid, the second I heard cigarettes were bad for your skin I vowed never to do it.
    I've done cocaine twice, but that's it. One of the time was about 6 years ago when I was flipping out I lost money on the floor at work, a girl I knew offered me a bump. The other time I was in a 6 hour VIP with four other girls and some golfers.
    I was SO paranoid after both those times and vowed I would never do it again. I don't like being in an altered state with anything. I don't care if other people do it, but it's not worth it to me.

    I'm retired now but was mostly straight edge too. Mine wasn't religious or moral reasons but more just to save time / energy .

    Straight edge check-in: Never smoked a cigarette, never had a drink at work, never tried coke, and don't smoke weed (although maybe once every couple months I vaporize a little for menstrual cramps). I also worked in the food service industry since I was 13 so I totally get the whole "only time for a break" thing. I started taking "fresh air" breaks so I could hang out with everyone, or just to get some relief.

    I don't smoke or do drugs either. I drink at work, but I limit myself to 2 drinks per shift, and only when a customer buys them for me. Nothing against those who do, I've tried my share of things and I just never cared for any of it.

    I don't drink, smoke or use drugs either. I've never used drugs, but I used to drink and smoke a lot but I honestly got sick of it months before I started dancing. And seeing how badly drugs and alcohol can affect some girls at work caused me to stop having my little shift drinks.
    I've actually become straightedge in an attempt to better myself. I'm known as the stripper who just drinks water at work and it does help start conversation.

    I smoke cigarettes, *desperately* want to quit though, constantly working on it. Have had substance problems in the past but it doesn't have the pull on me that it once did. I hate alcohol these days, so none of that anymore. I just have to remind myself that I'm dancing for bigger goals than enough money to buy *insert drug here*

    I used drink/drugs and smoked for most of my dancing until about 3years ago when I gave up everything (inside and Outside the club). I still crave every now and again but the consequences are not worth the action... It is different for every woman, the impact of a party lifestyle.

    If its not the girls around you partying then it is def. going to be the customers-

    I smoked cigarettes before dancing, during dancing, and still smoke after dancing !!!




    Of course, dancing aside, I also worked the 'smoking fetish' market niche as a model / camgirl !


    I drank alcohol before dancing, during dancing, and still drink after dancing. However, with a couple of notable exceptions, I do this in moderation ... with long alcohol-free periods in between. The notable exceptions were times when I worked in topless alcohol clubs that used the 'ladies drink' business model, where customers would insist that dancers down strong drinks if they expected the custy to spend major money. I learned pretty quickly that the sustained alcohol consumption was really damaging to my body, and quit working in such clubs.

    In regard to drugs, other than a few brief 'experiments' I have always steered clear. Early on I saw how damaging drugs were to a couple of my friends. After I started dancing I saw even more how damaging drugs were to some fellow dancers.

    Id have to say Melonie strikes a good point.

    Im sure if you did an experiment that you'd find majority of adults have at least once tried some type of drug (nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, hell even pharmaceuticals) for variety of reasons. Relaxation being one of them. Thing is this stuff has negative side effects so abstinence or moderation is important and the problem arises when it becomes abuse or addiction. For the dancers who do abuse substances, I try not to judge them but I just don't believe they won't last long or be truly happy going that same rate.

    I could go on but your body and looks with thank you in the long run. If if it makes you crazy then associate only with dancers who do none of these things.

    I used to drink at work a lot. It cost me a lot of money and put me in a very dangerous situation so I don't drink at all now. I don't do drugs but I do smoke. I'm trying to quit smoking now.
