Chapter 1: The Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction posits that our thoughts significantly influence the outcomes we experience. Positive thinking leads to favorable results, while negative thoughts yield undesirable consequences. This principle can be likened to the concept of the Mirror of Life.

When you gaze into a mirror, the reflection reveals exactly what is present—nothing more, nothing less. An imperfection is visible if it exists, and a smile will reflect a smile in return. The same principle applies to the Mirror of Life; if you approach it with negativity, you are likely to encounter unfortunate circumstances. Conversely, wearing a smile increases the chances of having a wonderful day.

In times of struggling with alcohol or substance use, the reflection often showcased a distorted view filled with negativity, making it feel as though one was perpetually under a dark cloud. This leads me to think about the ripple effect of our thoughts and actions. Every tiny particle in the universe is in constant motion, vibrating at its own frequency.

This idea is reminiscent of lessons learned in high school science about the atom, the fundamental unit of matter, which is always in motion. As spiritual beings, we are individual expressions of a higher power and interconnected with everything around us. Have you ever sensed someone radiating "good vibes" or "bad vibes"? These sensations represent actual spiritual frequencies that we all emit.

Moreover, everything carries its unique energy frequency. High-energy entities attract similar energies, while low-energy ones do the same. This phenomenon is akin to how flowers attract butterflies. The principle of like attracting like suggests that if you aspire to be happy and free, you should surround yourself with those who share similar aspirations.

This process, while straightforward, may not be easy at first. The key lies in a simple prayer: "God, help me." Once you express this, allow the divine to guide you.

The uplifting feelings experienced after an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting stem from being in the presence of those who seek the same positive outcomes. The energy we emit and absorb from others influences our emotional state. Consider a time when you encountered someone brimming with positive energy; their vibrancy was palpable, perhaps felt as a gentle shiver or a warm sensation.

Conversely, think of an encounter with someone exuding negativity. Their gloomy aura can drain your joy, leaving you feeling fatigued and depleted.

Section 1.1: The Power of Surrender

In the context of AA, fully surrendering your will and life to a higher power, as described in Step 3, facilitates the transformation into a state of happiness, joy, and freedom. This surrender can lead to remarkable changes in your life. If someone like me—once angry and difficult—can achieve this state, so can you!

Subsection 1.1.1: A Word of Caution

While this doesn't imply that you'll always feel joyous in the face of adversity—such as losing a loved one, facing an illness, or job loss—it does mean that you can maintain a sense of happiness and freedom throughout life's challenges. You will find joy in making decisions that previously seemed daunting, doing so without the influence of substances.

I no longer project negative energy; instead, I radiate positivity, which benefits both myself and those around me. It’s a beautiful gift to give to yourself and others.
