Young Adults’ Cannabis Recovery Support Meeting

Young Adults’ Cannabis Recovery Support Meeting

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.

The primary formula that we follow in our discussions is P.S.A. = Problem. Solution. Action.

This 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

Doug 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.
