Some relationships don't end with a fight. They end with you realizing you've been disappearing for years.
The Anchor of Reality is a poetry collection for anyone who has loved someone with addiction — and lost themselves in the process. Written over four years as a private record of an experience too painful to say out loud, these poems were never meant to be a book. They were survival.
Moving through the stages many know too well — the hope, the excuses, the bargaining, the silence, the chaos, and the private grief — this collection captures the aching contradiction of loving an addict while slowly realizing that love, loyalty, and sacrifice are not enough to save them.
With original black-and-white illustrations and lyrical emotional truth, The Anchor of Reality explores trauma bonding, emotional abandonment, and the quiet erosion of loving someone who is battling addiction. But this is not a book that ends in bitterness. It is a story of reclaiming yourself — choosing truth over fantasy, self-respect over self-erasure.
For anyone who has loved an addict. For anyone who stayed too long. For anyone still finding their way back to themselves.
