Parent Recovery Through Son’s Addiction & THC Psychosis

Monica G. is a California State University Fullerton graduate and is a Certified Drug and Alcohol counselor who currently works in the non-profit sector at an 18-month Inpatient Drug and Alcohol facility for women and children.

Monica is also the mother of a 27-year-old son who began using marijuana at the age of 15. As his drug usage escalated into an addiction, the changes in him became obvious that something was seriously wrong. While his cohorts were preparing for college, her son was preparing to go to rehab for the first time. This was going to be the first of many. His most recent relapse from high THC marijuana put him into psychosis, which led to a 5150 and hospitalization.

Monica began her recovery journey through Al-Anon and was regularly attending meetings for 6 years when she discovered CRAFT two years ago and finds value in both methods. Currently, Monica wants to become an advocate and spread the message of the dangers of high-THC marijuana, and she hopes to do so by sharing her story.

Join us on the first Friday of every month for messages of hope and healing from the impacts of marijuana. Every month, we welcome a different speaker to share their experience and provide pathways to serenity as we navigate through today’s pro-marijuana/drug culture. Whether you’re grieving the loss of a loved one or trying to recover yourself, this meeting is for you. You will be a Q & A at the end of each session. This meeting is appropriate for all family members ages 16 and up.
