this may be a tad long post, just to forwarn you guys.
i had a drug problem over the past seven years (clean for 1 yr & a half). i used to be a boozer when i was 13-17. i havent had a problem with drugs or booze since i've been dancing. i made the promise to myself to not touch anything- at work or out of work.
here's my issue: clubs like girls to sell alcoholic drinks. i choose not to drink or have anything to do with alcohol. i'm one of those kinds of people where if they accidentally put booze in my drink, i start craving more (which can lead to using more than booze). i can get out of control. i've had it suggested to me to 'fake it'. in other words taking only teeny sips of an alcoholic drink, getting a 'fake' drink or pouring out the drink in the bathroom. but, in all honestly, i just don't feel comfortable with this. i feel a lot safer by just telling people i don't drink, period (i'll tell them i'm underage if i have to) my club is unaware of my past. i prefer to keep it that way- it'll keep me out of trouble. i know the club wil make more money if i try and sell 'booze', but with my past problems, trying to stay away from it as much as possible will help me stick with my goals. in my club sometimes customers offer drugs too- when they find out i don't drink- they usually don't bother me with anything else. i also notice i get a lot more respect from customers by telling them my descision.
here's what i'd like to know:
dancers, have you ever had a similar issue to mine and did you choose t handle it the same way i did? am i the only one who's made this choice?
managers, bartenders, housemoms, what is your opinion of a dancer who chooses to not drink at all or order alcoholic drinks (even if they're fake)?
