Emerald LaFortune's Year Without Alcohol: Joy, Trust, and Sobriety in Nature

What The Year overall gave me was a real sense of trust in myself when it came to alcohol and knowing that if and when it ever wasn't the right thing to have in my life that I could set it aside again and I sort of had a roadmap for like.
Imagine taking a year-long break from alcohol while navigating the wild terrains of Idaho. That's exactly what Emerald LaFortune, an outdoor writer, whitewater and flyfishing guide, and community builder, did. In this episode of 'Nature Untold', Emerald sits down with host John Holdmeier to share her reflections on a year of sobriety. From the challenges to the triumphs, Emerald’s journey is a testament to personal growth and self-discovery in the great outdoors.
Emerald opens up about her annual social media hiatus and how stepping away from the digital world has brought her unexpected joy. She also delves into where she stands now with her relationship with alcohol and the valuable lessons she’s learned over the past year. One of the standout points is her newfound trust in herself—a trust that has been built through her sober journey.
The conversation touches on the importance of examining binary-style thinking and how it impacts our decisions and perceptions. Emerald’s insights into community care and the significance of sharing diverse sobriety stories are both enlightening and encouraging. Her experience highlights that sobriety is not a one-size-fits-all journey; it’s about finding what works for you and embracing it.
Whether you're curious about sobriety, looking for inspiration, or just love hearing stories from the outdoor community, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on living alcohol-free. Tune in to hear Emerald’s honest reflections and perhaps find a bit of inspiration for your own journey.
