West Long Branch Community Center

This month at Family Addiction Network, we’ll be coming together for an open meeting centered around the theme:“Going With the Flow”&nbsp;We all know, when addiction touches a family, it can be incredibly easy to feel like we have to stay one step ahead - anticipating the next crisis, trying to fix what feels broken, or holding tightly to the hope that we can control the outcome.


But what might happen when we learn to loosen our grip?
Our discussion, facilitated by Susan, will explore what it means to go with the flow while still taking care of ourselves, honoring our boundaries, and staying grounded. We’ll talk about letting go of what we cannot control, accepting uncertainty, finding flexibility, and learning to trust ourselves through the ups and downs.
Most importantly, this is a space to connect with others who understand.
This meeting is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, and ALL ARE WELCOME.
Whether you come to share your experience, listen to others, ask questions, or simply sit and know that you’re not alone, there is a place for you here.
💙 Leave this meeting knowing you are not alone.
We hope you’ll join us and be part of the conversation.
Join us on Oct 20th
From 7 – 8:30pm

MARY ASTOR’S PURPLE DIARY (The Musical)
Music and Lyrics by Michael Garin Book by Mardie Millit Based on the book by Edward Sorel Directed by Carl Andress
In 1965, author-illustrator Edward Sorel moved into a rent-controlled, Upper East Side apartment. While ripping up the linoleum floor, he found a pile of old newspapers with tabloid headlines, all about the biggest sex scandal of 1936. It involved a post-custody battle between a sexually liberated movie star, Mary (The Maltese Falcon) Astor, and her controlling ex-husband. Her numerous affairs, as detailed in her ‘purple diary’, rattled the entertainment industry, from Hollywood to Broadway. Sorel became obsessed with the subject, resulting in a best-selling, illustrated book. This musical version is a fizzy little cocktail inspired by his book, bubbling over with love, passion, infatuation, and a bit of magic!
