Every Brain Matters Recovery Community is built on a foundation of love, willingness, and HONESTY. We seek to create a culture of healing.
The expansion of marijuana is negatively affecting people in many ways: addiction, psychosis, suicide, homicide, DUI’s, Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome, and other incidents of injury or trauma resulting in harm or death, overdoses, and where marijuana was a gateway, companion, and/or relapse drug.

Mar-Anon is a fellowship of those affected by another person’s marijuana use. Its foundation is the Twelve Steps, adapted from Marijuana Anonymous, which can be a powerful, life-changing tool. We come together to work the steps and offer hope, comfort, and support for other members. We are not a religious group, instead, we use the steps as a path of self-discovery and personal change. Mar-Anon is independent of the Every Brain Matters Organization. EBM encourages Mar-Anon meetings to promote healing.

We are honored to welcome Dr. Rex Marco for the month of February 2022. Link To Meeting Meeting ID: 872 9417 0134 Passcode: [REDACTED]
Dr. Rex Marco obtained his degree in biological sciences at UC Irvine and then graduated medical school at UCLA. He then completed an orthopedic surgery residency at UC Davis and fellowship training in Musculoskeletal Oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and in Reconstructive Spine Surgery at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center in Chicago. He began his academic career at MD Anderson Cancer Center followed by a few years in private practice and nearly a decade at the University of Texas Medical School in Houston. He then became the Vice Chairman of orthopedic surgery at Houston Methodist Hospital where his surgical career was tragically shortened when he broke his neck in a mountain bicycle accident and was paralyzed from the neck down. He is currently the Chief Medical Ambassador for the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation where he also serves on the quality-of-life grants committee and advocacy committee. Dr. Marco has always sought to be the best father, physician, surgeon,DDD and teacher that he could be. He is known to be creative and transformative in his practice and teachings but says that his real transformation came when he was forced into recovery when he experienced difficulties related to his severe codependency and his mar-anon qualifiers. He will be sharing his story of recovery with us.

Hello, My name is Drew and from the summer of 2018 to May of 2020 I was in drug-induced psychosis brought on by my heavy marijuana use. I am sober now and in a program called Cornerstone, which is an alternative peer group based in Houston, and I work the steps in AA. I am 18 years old and I am coming up on 2 years of absolute sobriety. My relationship with my family has healed tons since getting sober and I have a group of friends that genuinely care for me. I have my sanity back but I must keep working hard in my program if I want to maintain these things. Join me to hear my experience, strength, and hope and how I overcame drug addiction and psychosis.

Every Brain Matters Monthly Speakers Meeting Combo-Mother and Daughter's Experience, Strength, and Hope
2022-04-01 18:00 - 19:00
Regan Steinert is 21 years old and has been in recovery from substance use disorder since March, 2018. She attended The Pathway Program in Tempe, AZ for 10 months, spending her first 45 days in Step 2 (residential treatment), 8 additional weeks in IOP and 6 months in Aftercare. She moved back home to Magnolia, TX in January, 2019 and attends AA meetings regularly. She earned her GED in June, 2019, and graduated MOGO Salon Academy as an eyelash technician in 2020. She is a Certified Recovery Coach at Cornerstone of Houston, working with teens who are struggling with SUD and other mental health issues. She is a student at Lone Star College studying to become a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. Her desire is to connect with kids/adolescents through her personal struggles with substance abuse and recovery to offer them hope and understanding, and to inspire them to live a beautiful life free from drugs and alcohol.
Janelle Martin is a married mother of two children, living in Magnolia, TX. Her youngest child, Regan, started using drugs at age 16 and entered a treatment program at The Pathway Program in Tempe, AZ at age 17. Subsequently, Janelle found herself also in recovery in order to better understand and help her daughter. Her recovery consisted of weekly phone meetings with a Pathway counselor, weekly parent meetings, working a 12-step program, and reading a multitude of books on addiction and recovery. She facilitates weekly PAL (Parents of Addicted Loved Ones) meetings at Cypress Therapy and Counseling in Cypress, TX. She works as an Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor and an IASIS Certified Provider with The Mind Connection, LLC in Cypress, TX, providing addiction counseling and IASIS MicroCurrent Neurofeedback. MicroCurrent Neurofeedback is a natural, chemical-free and painless way to help the brain heal from many conditions: addiction, anxiety, depression, PTSD, chronic pain, ADD/ADHD, insomnia, migraines, concussions/TBI, autism and many more. Helping parents and families recover from the devastating effects of substance use disorder is something Janelle feels compelled to do, because she views her own family’s recovery as an incredible gift.
Together, we share our experiences of trauma, substance use, denial, brokenness, fear, and also our healing journey in the hope that we can offer hope to the hopeless, and education for those who misunderstand addiction and who it affects.
