the anchor / Katie Bowick

Hi friends! I’m Katie.

If you’re reading this, you likely already know this but who knows?!

As I write this I hope someone finds this when they need it the most. I know I would have loved to fast forward to everything I know now.

In fact, many of us grappling with a loved one’s addition are looking for answers or a way to leap frog ahead to the good part.

But most of us are still very much in the chaos and struggling to control not just the addiction but the effects of addiction like financial stress, family friction, and social stigmas.

While we didn’t find a book that honored the strength and dedication of the loved one, we did develop a working language to accurately convey the dynamics.

The anchor definition:

It’s all a work in progress and we take our relationship day by day.

This work is all part of the future we were trying to build together.
