SUMMARY:Climbers Family Support Group
DESCRIPTION:A professional counselor leads this weekly online support group for families affected by a loved one’s marijuana use. Participants learn recovery tools that empower them to take the next step while navigating through marijuana addiction\, psychosis\, hyperemesis\, self-harm\, or other destructive behaviors. Whether families decide to take small steps or hike the mountain\, each step counts and can positively impact their families’ relationships and health. \nIn the world of recovery\, families learn the 3 C’s about the disease of addiction. \nWe didn’t cause it. \nWe can’t control it. \nAnd we can’t cure it. \nIn the Every Brain Matters Climbers meeting\, we talk about a 4th C. How do we contribute to it positively or negatively? It’s difficult for families to know what that means\, so by discussing these situations\, we gain clarity on the best response for our families. \nWe encourage each family member to work on their own recovery program. We allow cross-talking to share ideas\, experiences\, strength\, and hope. Every family makes their own decisions and heals at their own pace. We respect the feelings and privacy of those attending our meetings. \nWe ask for a donation to compensate for the professional expertise and time we provide\, but this is not a requirement to attend. The suggested donation is $20.00 per person or $35.00 per family. Join us every Wednesday at 7 pm central time zone. \n  \nLINK TO REGISTER \nMeeting ID: 827 4437 2483\nPasscode: Climbers

SUMMARY:Young Adults’ Cannabis Recovery Support Meeting
DESCRIPTION:This support meeting is for individuals\, ages 18 – 35\, who have struggled with a cannabis use disorder (CUD)\, cannabis-induced psychosis (CIP)\, or cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS). This is a closed meeting for people who have struggled with these conditions. Attendees must be sober. We welcome newly sober newcomers seeking practical steps to stay sober and pursue a healthier life. We will not glorify the past; we will only look to learn from it. Our primary goal is to maintain sobriety\, heal from the negative\, long-lasting effects of using cannabis products\, and help others achieve sobriety. These meetings will focus on abstinence. We do not support and will not discuss any form of marijuana maintenance plan. \n\n\nThe primary formula that we follow in our discussions is P.S.A. = Problem. Solution. Action. \n\n\nThis meeting will be held online on the 2nd Wednesday of the month starting August 14\, 2024\, from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm Central Time. For more information\, contact Doug Dolan at dougdolan@recoveryinthepines.com \n\n\nDoug Dolan will be the moderator for these sessions. He is in recovery\, sobriety date is April 19\, 1997. Doug works extensively in substance abuse\, mental health\, and personal life transformation. He sits on multiple committees focused on these issues\, as well as those focused on reducing overdose fatalities\, suicide prevention\, helping families in crisis\, and various aspects of brain health. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Every Brain Matters Speakers Meeting- Kobi Russell - recovery cannabis psychosis
DESCRIPTION:In this new era of industrialized THC\, families need support and hope. Please join us on the second Wednesday of every month for messages of healing from the impacts of marijuana and the expanding drug crisis.  There will be a Q&A at the end of each meeting. This meeting may be recorded at the presenter’s discretion. \nKobi Russell is a recent graduate of Brandeis University who currently works in the fields of conflict resolution and accessibility. In late 2018\, due to a “perfect storm” of triggers\, including stress\, lack of sleep\, medication\, and\, most importantly\, daily high-potency cannabis usage\, Kobi had a severe and prolonged episode of cannabis-induced psychosis\, CIP. During his recovery\, a relative told him\, “Kobi\, you’ve gone to a place [mentally] that most people will never go.” \nAs he began speaking publicly about his experience with psychosis\, sobriety\, and recovery (both online and with his community)\, Kobi quickly reached the painful realization that he was far from alone. Kobi hopes that this talk and\, ideally\, future collaborations with Every Brain Matters will show that young people who experience CIP are not alone\, that there are others who understand their experience on a deeply personal level\, and that recovery is a journey––and it is absolutely possible! \nKobi is 25 years old and lives with his family in Somerville\, MA. He enjoys getting active in nice weather and hiding inside when it snows! \nRegister for this meeting at this link. Once registered\, you will be sent a Zoom link to join the meeting that you can save to your calendar. You will not be required to register again if you have already registered for a previous Speakers Meeting. If you have any questions\, please email us at info@everybrainmatters.org. \nThis meeting is free\, but donations are welcome to increase our effort to support and advocate for families impacted by industrialized marijuana.  \nLink To Register \nMeeting ID: 872 9417 0134\nPasscode: ebmsupport
