Back in my drinking days, the roller skating to disco would have seemed a good idea to me!

That came out during my drinking days. And I hung around the Hollywood Disco a lot back then.

It was not until I had been sober for a while and was also attending Al-Anon that I again heard it, I mean REALLY HEARD IT, HEARD the words. Was a very good thing for me to hear when I did.

I did survive. I got past that sink hole in my recovery.

Listen to the words, better yet here they are:


Gloria Gaynor » I Will Survive Lyrics

First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me

Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive

It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
Now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
still in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me

Thanks Winne .............................. perfect 'theme song' for all of us!

Love and hugs,

hahaha so 2 votes for disco sucks
1 vote for the deeper meaning behind the spandex and flashing lights
1 who is looking for her neon disco roller blades.

Oooooo......can we visit the 80's next!? How about some Chaka Khan!? I Love 80's music!

I love this song. I listened to it a lot when I broke up with my college boyfriend. We had been dating so long and had been so attached. When I started feeling down on myself, I'd blast this.
