Adventure camping - backpacking/kayaking - it actually kind of helps one create a whole new understanding of one's self actually. Kills a lot of the weekend off and when you come out of the woods you are so tired you don't want to do anything anyhow.
All you got to do is change your life. Do stuff you have never done before.
Gambling of any type. Imnumnuts, did you notice that Delaware just became the second state behind Nevada to legalize sports betting (at casinos)? Hopefully other states will see the light and follow Delaware. One benefit of the bad economy is that states will have to find new revenue and one sure way is to legalize victimless crimes and tax the hell out of them.
I would stay at home and join porn sites in order to fulfill my titty addiction. Also I would go on more real dates with women I meet in non-strip club settings.
also I forgot to mention that if they did ban strip clubs then I would probably also use more of flirt4free.com or webcam girl sites. Some of those girls are fun to talk to just like strippers and some also work as strippers as their night job.
Strip clubs are a vice so replacing one vice with another which could be casino's/gambling, asian/latin massage parlors, non-strip club clubs, or possibly escorts. If you are saying replacing via rehab of all vices well that's a whole separate consideration.
I think I would become a millionaire, buy a large house with a stripper room and invite girls over who enjoy stripping and maybe some other friends too. Then I would set up other rooms using some technology that hasn't really been developed too much yet and have some 3D arcade fun. I might push forward the entertainment technology in this sector. To do that might require me to start up a new company to market and sell the technology to get enough funding. I'd only have time to do that if I was already a millionaire so catch 22 there. Typically I've found if I thought of something, somebody somewhere already has so I'm not sure why it's taking so long to develop 3D technology. Interactive holograms along with interactive holographic display devices for mobile internet devices I would want to. As far as I know, no one has invented these devices yet. Imagine an Iphone except it has an adjustable large 17" holographic display when on. The keypad could even be holographic and interactive so you touch the buttons in the air and it reads it perfectly well. I thought I had a dream the other night where I was using such a device.
If I were to quit strip clubbing, or even, quit being interested in women, then, with all the free time and money that I would have left over, I could cure cancer, end hunger and starvation, create world peace, find a renewable non-polluting energy source, invent the fountain of youth, stop wars, eliminate global warming, make the Catholics and Protestants like each others' company in Northern Ireland, and get a good start on the Palestinians and the Israelis in the Levant, too. Oh, and, find a pair of really comfortable but very sexy black shoes ...
I'd probably go to movies more often for sure. I would certainly try to get my car paid off sooner. Or actually get a house instead of the apartment I live in now.
Also I would have invested more in the stock market...so on bad days I lose $300 at a strip club and get no mileage I remind myself that I have lost more money than that from investing in certain companies (cough cough Sun Microsystems or name another dot-com era company here!)
Invest $20,000 in World Com, or AIG, in 1995, and now have $1. Or spend $20,000 in Rick's and Platinum where-ever between 1995 and now, and have memories that last a lifetime. :)
Maybe I wouldn't spend any money. Just stay home, surf the internet and play old pc games or play some I never really seemed to have much time to play. I'm not going to any strip clubs this weekend. Could become a new habit. However I do have a cold with congestion so I might not be feeling exactly normal. Going to visit another crowded, smoky strip club just doesn't seem like fun right now. I need to bomb and destroy something (in a pc game)always makes me feel better.
I suggest the 10-day free trial of World of Warcraft. You can download it, play it for 9.5 days, learn how to play well, then use a registry editor to delete it, and download and run it all over again, and play again. Each time, you'll get up to 10 days on a character, and by the time you've done it three or five times, you'll be an expert on how to get to level 20 really fast. It's a kind of "obsessive compulsive's escape valve" sort of thing.

But I also think that if I quit stripclubbin' that I'd just hang myself.
