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.

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.

Every Brain Matters Monthly Speakers Meeting -Sarah Emes
2022-05-06 18:00 - 19:00
Sarah Emes was born and educated in England; this included learning a respect for Christianity from an early age through musical service in the church. According to societal expectations at the time, she graduated from university, started working at an internationally known financial institution in the City of London and was married by the time she was 26. She met her first husband during a year of business studies taken to ensure long-term employability as music, her first love, was not a reliable career option.
With a strong desire to see the world, Sarah accompanied her American husband on several overseas assignments in the oil business, ending up in Houston, Texas where they both found good jobs.
Sarah has spent the last 28 years working for a global chemical company headquartered in Belgium, in positions of increasing responsibility related to Information Services, Corporate Communications and Data Compliance all while based in Houston and traveling for business frequently. She retired in January 2022.
Her career and many friends made through music and faith-based networks have supported her through the birth of her only son, a difficult divorce, single-parenthood, her son’s cancer treatment and the challenges of co-parenting with an ex-spouse with untreated childhood and Vietnam-era PTSD and substance use disorder.
Finally, through her son’s addiction disease, she learned the hope that comes from working the 12-steps and grew significantly as a result of being in a parent-driven recovery program with him over a period of nearly 4 years. After his death in 2017, Sarah has continued to work a 12-step program for her codependency and shares her story in the hope that it will help people whose loved ones are using mind-altering substances wake up quicker. By focusing on self-improvement, she found new and effective ways of approaching what was going on for her son and saw how he responded positively to those efforts.
Today, she is happily married to a research scientist who also supported Sarah’s son in his recovery journey by working the 12-steps and following the latest data relating to the efficacy of 12-step programs, the relationship between trauma and substance use disorder, and the science of addiction.

Every Brain Matters Monthly Speakers Meeting -Josie M.
2022-06-03 18:00 - 19:00
I’m Josie M., I’m 22 and I’ve been clean from marijuana and other substances for 3 years. Marijuana was my drug of choice and led me down a path of self-destruction behaviors. It heavily affected my mental health, causing acutely heightened anxiety and paranoia. Through working a 12-step program I have found healing, love, and the truth about how mind-changing chemicals really affect me. Join me while I share my story of recovery from marijuana with the Every Brain Matters community on June 3rd.
Join us on the first Friday of every month for messages of hope and healing from the impacts of marijuana.
