This is not a story about the margins of society. It is a story about addiction as it appears in ordinary, middle-class life—quiet, functional, and hidden in plain sight. From Crack to Kitty Litter is a first-person memoir that traces the long arc of a relationship shaped by love, denial, loyalty, and substance abuse. Told without sensationalism or moralizing, the narrative follows the author’s lived experience alongside a partner whose addiction unfolded not in chaos, but within the routines of work, home, and shared responsibility. The book examines how addiction can coexist with stability—how it hides behind employment, intelligence, charm, and moments of genuine care. It explores the slow erosion that occurs when love becomes entangled with enabling, and when endurance quietly replaces clarity. Rather than offering advice, solutions, or redemptive formulas, the memoir stays with the uncomfortable realities: the missed signals, the compromises made in good faith, and the emotional cost of staying too long. It bears witness to what it feels like to live inside addiction’s orbit without fully understanding its gravity until it is too late. Written with candor and restraint, this book offers recognition to readers who have experienced addiction not as spectacle, but as something painfully familiar—present in relationships, families, and neighborhoods that appear, from the outside, entirely normal.
