Trailblazing Sobriety: Lori MacGregor’s Journey to Pride and Purpose

  • Sober Outdoors Denver, Colorado Denver (map)

Sobriety isn’t the end of happiness—it’s the key to it.

Join us for a powerful and thought-provoking evening with Lori MacGregor, who will share her journey of overcoming addiction and finding empowerment in an alcohol-free life. When Lori quit drinking in 2017, she discovered that sobriety had a PR problem. Recovery was often painted as a punishment, a shameful secret to endure. But Lori’s experience was anything but.

In the mountains of Los Angeles, Lori found a sanctuary that changed her life. Hiking gave her something to look forward to, a way to connect with herself and the world around her, and a sense of pride she never experienced while drinking. The awe of nature and a like-minded community inspired her to embrace sobriety as a path to freedom, not restriction.

Now, Lori is redefining what recovery means—not as a loss, but as a gain. She champions the transformative power of the outdoors, the joy of an alcohol-free life, and the importance of fostering a supportive, like-minded community.

What to Expect:

  • Lori’s raw and inspiring story of recovery and rediscovery

  • A conversation about breaking the stigma of sobriety and reclaiming it as a source of pride

  • Insights into the role of nature in healing and fostering resilience

  • A chance to connect with others who share a passion for growth, community, and the outdoors

🗓 When: 3/20/25 at 7:00PM
📍 Where: Virtually

Quote from Lori:
"In those early days when I was crawling out of my skin, hiking the Los Angeles mountains gave me something to look forward to, something to feel connected to, and a sense of pride and accomplishment I never had when drinking."

This event is open to all—whether you’re in recovery, curious about sobriety, or simply looking for inspiration. Come join us to hear Lori’s impactful story and learn how we can all find strength, purpose, and community in the outdoors.

Let’s change the narrative of sobriety, one step at a time.
