I'm just about to finish my graduate school. There has been a lot of opportunities offered to me as a pharmacist and also few different pharmaceutical companies has offered me jobs. But I don't mean to sound greedy but since I'll be right out of grad school the pay is okay compared to the lifestyle I've been living. I haven't danced in years, but when I used to I would make 5k a week!!! I've been married the last few years so I stopped. My husband just past away and I don't know how I would pay all of our (now my) bills without going back to stripping. I do miss the money, but I feel horrible doing it because I feel like I'm betraying my husband. I'm not one of those girls who does extras but I know it's still wrong. My friends tell me to go back and take advantage of how I look now because I'm in my late 20s and can't be doing this in my 30s. I can't lie I do want to strip again but is it wrong? Or greedy?
Ok first off, this doesn't make you "addicted" to stripping. Sounds like you just want the money. I've done sex work before, the money is crazy good. For me I felt like it was slowly destroying my soul, but I was prostituting, which is a lot more severe than stripping.
Ask yourself this, if your husband were still here, what do you think he would think about you doing this? Consider that, then consider how YOU feel about doing this, both from your own feelings on stripping, and what you think your husbands would have been. Then, ask yourself if, knowing that, you think that doing this would eat away at you in the long term. If the answer is no, then by all means go for it. But I would be cautious about getting back into it if you think it would gnaw at you little by little every time you went to work. It might not be worth how it could affect you mentally.
Only you know the answer to that. It all depends on how you feel about it. Forget what your friends say, they're not the ones doing it. And it probably isn't worth it if it will damage you emotionally. And that's the real question here, will it? If not, go for it. If it will, I'd seriously ask yourself if you really think it's worth it and how it might affect you in the long term. It doesn't sound like you have any issues with it in the sense of feeling exploited like a lot of girls do, but it could still be damaging if you're always going to be thinking of your husband and feeling guilt doing it. Which is why I think you should ask yourself if you think that would happen, and if you think it's still worth doing.
Cause it will end eventually, and you don't want to be worse off emotionally when it does, which is the other part of this question. Will doing this make things harder when you eventually get out? Not just emotionally, but with finding another job.
