The hero's journey is over and over and over again, but you have made a decision, which is why it's called crossing the threshold, because, beyond this point, you've committed to this journey, and you then have tests, allies, and enemies.
Ever thought of your journey to sobriety as an epic adventure? In this episode of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, Patrick Fox chats with Calvin Niles, also known as The Mindful Storyteller. Calvin, a best-selling author and founder of SOAR Book Club, brings his expertise in mindfulness and storytelling to explore how the hero's journey can mirror the path to changing your relationship with alcohol.
They dive into the different stages of this journey, from the 'ordinary world' where everything seems fine, to the pivotal moment that calls you to embark on a quest for self-discovery. For many struggling with addiction, this call often comes at rock-bottom. But, as Calvin explains, facing this moment with compassion is the first step towards transformation. Along the way, you'll encounter allies and mentors, face tests, and overcome inner demons.
Mindful storytelling helps reframe your experiences, turning thoughts and feelings into mere stepping stones rather than insurmountable barriers. The reward? Realizing you're not who you thought you were and emerging as a new version of yourself. Of course, the journey isn't easy. There will be resistance and temptations to fall back into old habits. But by recognizing that this adventure is ongoing and aiming for a higher version of yourself, you can keep moving forward.
Tune in to hear more about how the hero's journey can guide you through the challenges of addiction and help you create a life you love.
