Tuesday Tunes Song of the Week: Last Dance

Artist: Donna Summer

It’s a bitter-sweet moment in time. This dance is the Last Dance in my current apartment.  This is the place I have called home for nine years. If these walls could talk, they would share many memories, laughter, crying, loneliness, and friendship from inside this one-bedroom apartment.  Here’s what is not stored in these four walls; drinking or using, shame, guilt, or denial. 

I never used in this apartment. I woke up every day knowing where I was, who I was, and what I was.  It is a freeing feeling knowing I am moving away in the same shape I was when I moved in…sober and in recovery. This is where the housecoat dance was born. I am excited and nervous, and I, of course, have already packed up all of my housecoats, which will be making their debut at the new place next week! Life in sobriety is consistently filled with big, new adventures. Stay tuned…
