Marijuana can save a life, is when, you know, my family come down. You know, at the time we had that sgi, you know somewhere to happen to me on active duty. And then there's an off ramp that you know goes up and over off the sun valley road exit.
Picture this: a combat veteran navigating the tumultuous transition from war to civilian life, grappling with the weight of depression and thoughts of suicide. In this compelling episode of 'Church of Recovery', host Daniel Collins sits down with Shannon P., a 12-year military veteran, to uncover her remarkable story of resilience and redemption. Shannon opens up about the dark times she faced after returning from service, including a devastating relationship that further impacted her mental health.
But this isn't just a tale of struggle; it's a story of finding light in the darkest places. With the help of her older brother, armed with nothing but a bag of Doritos and salsa, Shannon began her journey towards healing. She delves into how cannabis and harm reduction played pivotal roles in managing her mental health and overcoming addiction. The conversation also highlights the often-overlooked importance of family and community support in recovery.
Shannon’s candid discussion sheds light on the unique challenges veterans face when reintegrating into civilian life and the stigmas surrounding alternative therapies like cannabis. Whether you're a veteran, know someone who is, or are simply interested in alternative recovery methods, Shannon’s story offers hope and inspiration. Tune in for an eye-opening conversation that might just change your perspective on recovery.
