Cocaine.
Hi, I've been with my husband for 11 years and I have suspected in the last year that he has been trying coke every once in a while. Recently in the last few months I think it has gotten worse. We recently seperated a month ago for other reasons than that. He recently admitted that he has tried it twice which no offense but I definitely don't believe it's twice. He said he hasn't did anything in over a month. The friends we have do coke and molly and stuff on most weekends and he is madly obsessed with them. Anyways I really suspect he is doing coke way more now. He gets really mad when I have asked him how many times he's done it. He said I don't need to know its not even important. I'm his wife actually it is. Anyways the only thing I have to go off of is he just seems different. I have been finding bloody tissue in our garbage here when he comes home, he has been habing a runny nose for 3 months straight, he's had blood **** eyes a few times. He kind of goes to the restroom a bit more and I keep finding pens around. They are normal but the pen cap looks like it has had powder in it. I just have a gut feeling with how rude and different he has been. It is ruining everything between us. Please let me know if yall think those are signs. Thanks!!

Hi Newbie,

Welcome here.  I hope somebody with coke experience can give you more specific information.  Sounds like he has slipped into full-blown addiction already.   Coke is expensive and eventually .he and you will have to deal with that.  Can you talk to him without him becoming hostile or defensive? 

All the best,

Freyja

Trust your gut.  You have known him long enough to recognize what is 'not normal'.

It is useless to ask a person who is in active addiction if they have used, or how much they have used; they always lie.They lie because they cannot tell the truth to anyone, even themselves. As long the lies work, they never have to admit to their addiction.

You have to separate yourself from this stranger who has entered your marriage, your life. You must take care of yourself. Whether you stay married is not my concern; that is your decision alone. I mean that you must focus on your own wellness, your own safety, your own sanity.  that is all that you can control.

If you want to know for sure take the pen cap with the residue in it, drop it in a urine cup of warm water and do a drug test strip from the drug store. I did that with a bottle cap when my daughter was on heroin and wouldn't do a pee test. It worked. Then you will know, but then what? That is what you have to decide.
