ARE YOU ON A HERO’S JOURNEY?

If you live an ordinary life all you’ll have are ordinary stories.

In 1949, the writer Joseph Campbell published, The Hero With A Thousand Faces. The book explains the journey of ‘the hero’ that runs through thousands of the world’s mythic traditions including Hiawatha, Dante’s Inferno, The Golden Fleece, King Arthur and more recently Star Wars and Harry Potter.

For me, stopping drinking alcohol is going on a hero’s journey. By going against the grain, by doing something different for the good of you and others, you become ‘the hero’.

Campbell describes a number of stages or steps along the journey.

• The hero’s adventure begins in his ordinary world.
• He must depart from this world when he receives a call to adventure.
• With the help of a mentor, the hero will cross a guarded threshold, leading him to a supernatural world, where familiar laws and order do not apply.
• There, he will embark on a road of trials, where he is tested along the way.
• The archetypal hero is sometimes assisted by allies. As he faces the ordeal, he encounters the greatest challenge of the journey.
• Upon rising to the challenge, the hero receives a reward, or boon.
• The hero then returns with this boon to the ordinary world, where he faces more trials on the road back.
• Upon his return, he uses the boon or gift to improve the ordinary world.

STEPS YOU CAN TAKE

You can be ‘the hero’ of your own life journey by choosing an adventure, such as an alcohol-free life.
