Hello, my dear readers! If you're on a journey of self-discovery and recovery, "The Game of Life and How to Play It" by Florence Scovel Shinn is a must-read that packs a punch with timeless wisdom and a dash of metaphysical magic. Written in the 1920s, it's like a spiritual boot camp that shows us how the thoughts and beliefs we carry can shape our lives—super useful when you're battling addiction and trying to manifest a healthier, happier you.

Florence, our spiritual drill sergeant, arms us with an arsenal of affirmations, faith, and positive thinking. She teaches that life is a game in which the spiritual laws of the universe are the rulebook. Imagine being able to tap into the power of your mind to not only stay on the wagon but also draw in abundance and joy. She emphasizes the importance of visualization and speaking things into existence, which can be a game changer when you're trying to stay clean and rebuild your life.

So, why not let Florence be your guide? Her strategies are like having cheat codes in the game of life, giving you the upper hand in overcoming obstacles and creating a life filled with victories—big and small. Whether you’re new to the sobriety game or you’ve got some serious, sober time under your belt, this book offers a fun, engaging way to strengthen your recovery muscles. Let's empower ourselves with Florence's insights and play this game of life to win—sober style!

PS. When I say visualize, I really mean use narratives and descriptions or visualize. I have Aphantasia (blind mind's eye), and many people use a lack of the ability to visualize as a get-out-of-meditation/manifestation-free card, as I did for more than fifteen years. It's not going to happen around here. No blaming your ADHD, either. We all have it, and if I can, you CAN! Trust me. You will thank me later.
