I didn't usually dance, but that night I did. I can't say I dance till I dropped because I never dropped. I had more energy than I'd ever had before. I felt better than I ever had before. Usually, when I went out with my friends, I was worried about dancing because I didn't want to get hot and sweaty mess up my hair. I tell my girlfriends were just going to stand here and model. Not that night. That night I danced. I danced into the skinny end of the night and into the wide opening of mourning. And at the end of it all, I felt great. No regret or concern for what I done. At the end of the night, I found myself wondering What was I so afraid of? Cocaine wasn't a drug that limited you. Cocaine was a drug that set you free. I could dance. I could drink without getting drunk. I could drive safely or goto work. In fact, I could take care of my life just fine. Better than fine. Cocaine wasn't a drug that made you pass out. I wasn't spacey or clouded. I didn't see things that weren't there or lose my inhibitions so that men could take advantage of me that first night dancing and then going to parties afterwards, I felt like I could go on forever, live forever, dance forever, and that was a new and wonderful feeling for me.
