Advice on moving on from industry.x
« on: 04 May 2012, 09:43:34 pm »
Hello girls!
I came across this site last week,wow great site(wish id found earlier)
Im 31 and ive been in industry 12 years..escorting with agencys,independent incalls also parlours.
Basically every avenue there is..
Ive had highs and lows and very low times over the years.
Before i write any further,im not saying escorting is a bad thing its just not good for me.
Ive got to the point where i know i have to stop.
For ME im very insecure about my self and my looks and i think escorting is making me feel worse.
Im drinking heavily and also self harmed.which im now badly scarred.
I feel its the years of feeling trapped in the job.
Ive never had family support or love and i was homeless at 16.
In alot of ways escorting saved me and allowed me to put a roof over my head,but its also been easier to stay in rather than face reality,that im very unhappy.
I will have months of staying focused,staying sober and trying to change my situation.
I save money,but then it always goes wrong somewhere and im back to square 1..
I started college but then had to quit due to money being my main priority.
Sometime im struggling to pay all my bills,and i wonder how the hell id manage on a lower wage!
Another reason i feel stuck.
Ive also met someone,they dont know and i really want to start a family.
But i mainly want to stop for me and my well being.
What advice i would really appreciate is how i can stop?
Ive got zero qualifications,ive never had another job.
I really dont know how to move forward,get another job and also pay my bills.
It almost seems inpossible ???
I feel in despair sometimes and have got so many regrets of not saving while things were good.
But i know ive not got the strengh to stay escorting for much longer.
Ive reached my limit..xx

Firstly take one day at a time don't look back giving yourself a hard time.
Do not be too over whelmed by what you have to do. Its not the easiest road you travelled on
but you got through it.
Ask yourself what would you like to do instead .
Take good care of yourself.
There is nothing wrong with being an escort just the attitudes of people who judge us, ignorant and the unsavory characters we may encounter. But its a choice.

I don't believe in regrets as you cannot change them,but what you can do,is learn from them and move on.I feel similar to you as I would like to settle down properly with my OH,stop having to lie to friends and family and not check AW every 5 mins ( get a life I know ).Also am tired of married men moaning about their wives,souless hotel rooms,smelly willies,come in my hair......I could go on,but I better not.

Like it has been said,what are you interested in?there must be something.Take small steps into a civvy job,its not all about the money,it is possible to live on less than we are used to.I turned down a fantastic offer last year for a job I really wanted because it was ?8 an hour,but the job was something special.I learnt not to do that again,next time I get an offer for a civvy job I want I am going togo for it,even if its a low wage.Why would you work for min wage when you can get 30 times that, escorting,BECAUSE I know I would be happier,simple as that.

Try not to worry and put your energy into finding something that makes you tick,sod the money you will survive!

When I got married I wanted to get out of escorting to have a more normal life.

To be honest took me few months to get out of the house and go out with my cv, It was like I had lost my confidence in that sense of finding a job plus I had a big gap on my cv. Anyway I found a job and I did have a good time, one week wages was equal one day escorting but I was spending less money too.
I worked as a waitress, i didn't need to worry about bills ( husband always get the bills) but I do have some money saved for the "future" from my previous escorting time...
Another thing ( please I am not judging you or any other girl ) if you only work to pay bills it is better to have a low paid job that doesn't make you feel sad. At least you don't need to lie to friends or family or a possible other half.

If you never worked and have no qualifications start with charities work to get used with it and to have something on your cv.


Good luck

Thankyou to each of your replys..
Yes i think im at the point where earning big money per hour,is still not making me want to continue..
Im relialising that my happiness is way more inportant.
The thing is,is that im not even that well off!finantially and mentally.
If a girl uses her head,escorting can be an amazing way to get a good life.
But if i havent done it by now,i know i never will.
And ive got no fight left..
Whats scaring me is applying for a job,what have i been doin,ive got no experience,no refereces,no qualifications..im scared.
Im not expecting to get some high paid job,just a job would do!
I have never even had a friend,obviously friends in escorting,but they have never remained my friend,they have just dissapeared.
I want to be looked at in a way thats not about sex,i dont think i can face being nice to 1 more person(customer)judging me..
I just want to know how i would feel and how my life would change,if i left for good.

Oh, I don't know how you've done it for so long!Am already considering an early retirement, was sat in A and E with a friend today, and just kept thinking that I'd prefer to be working there. It's only an hour, or two, or three...but it drains me for days afterwards. I'd suggest maybe going cold turkey, this site is great for help and advice and am so glad I have it, but it also normalises escorting (and there's nowt wrong with that as it suits some, but if it's melting your head then it's not a good thing). It's like going to a bar to chat with your buddies the day you've decided to give up the drink. Ditto punternet, ditto adultwork (just saafe gives back...). Commit, throw away work sim, delete profile and tell yourself you'll stay away from all the websites etc. Just live in the real world, 'tis a lovely auld place!xx

Thankyou so much everyone,really appreciate you taking the time,to give me some advice.
Ive took a lot on board.
I broke down last nite and told my partner everything.
And ive told him how unappy i am,while id had wine to pluck up the courage.
He cried and gave me a big cuddle and was more understanding than i could of ever have hoped for!
My partner has a very low paid job,so i cant just reley on him.
But getting the weight off my shoulders has helped a little.The years of hurt,just flooded out.
I have decided to work out what i could live off a month,and be relistic that i have to carry on a little longer..but ive worked this long,so i should be able to cope just till i get something.
im going to volunteer at some horse stables close to me,i love animals.
And look for a cleaners job,something i could maybe more easily get..
And look in to going back to college..
Someone made a point about once they had another form of income,there less sad about escorting.
And maybe it could be that way for me 1 or 2 outcalls a week to bump my money up.
The way i feel now i just want quit for good,but thats the thing about our work,once its got you its hard to never do again..
But i would like to just stop forvever.
The thing is,that when i felt good (not often)i  found it easy.
But im going to take one step at a time.x x
And i would never let my self fall back in the trap and reley on escorting,for everything.
