The Twelve Step journey of recovery is, at its core, the modern retelling of the age-old archetype of the Hero’s Journey. This powerful pattern of transformation is revealed in three stages: separation, initiation, and return. These stages perfectly describe the journey of recovery as well, and when further broken down into their individual steps—such as answering the call, getting a mentor, and, most important of all, having that mentor introduce the hero to a Power greater than himself—the true meaning and purpose of the recovery journey comes alive. The Twelve Steps: A Modern Hero’s Journey deepens and inspires all those on their own journey of recovery, regardless of the type of program they are in. The treasures awaiting those bold enough to venture into the adventure will heal not only themselves, but all of humanity as well.
Classic tales from mythology, such as The Odyssey and the adventure of Hercules, as well as modern stories from popular literature and film, such as Luke Skywalker’s in the Star Wars series and Harry Potter’s journey through Hogwarts, plus many more, illuminate the Twelve Step journey, and offer a deeper and more reverent understanding of this sacred pattern of transformation. The Twelve Steps: A Modern Hero’s Journey entertains, informs, and delights readers with a profound new understanding of the journey they are on, a journey countless of heroes before him or her have taken since the beginning of time.
