What Are Signs of Drug Abuse in a Person?
Question by Samantha: What are signs of drug abuse in a person?
My hubby used to use cocaine years before we met. He was clean when I met him. That was 9 years ago. Lately (the past year) I have noticed these things: he is never home. He will always be somewhere but home. He is out all night long. He never seems to have to sleep. He’ll work a 10 hr workday then say he is tired but after going out for a “beer” he is all of a sudden all wound up and stays out all night for days on end! He is moody and flies off the handle at any little thing. He looks funny in the eyes. Almost glazed over at times and he curls his hands up sometimes when he seems to be doped or drunk or whatever? Please help me if you know if this is drinking or drugs again? How can I approch this??

Remember you can’t lose what was never yours in the first place. Last night I found out that my friend is a drug abuser. We were at a hayride function and she got over anxious to leave early . Well that was okay but she ran fast ahead to the return vehicle and left me rudely behind. Seems she needed an excuse to use her inhaler. So she got winded and had to suck on it really too much . I walked slowly up to her as she stood in a panic. Later I realized what she had was not asthma but a panic attack and she loves to use the inhaler drug to zone out . Oh she was careful to drink only a little wine .Hehehe.

I am sorry if he is slipping back into darkness…He is up to something, for sure. I would suspect the same things, because of his different actions. You might want to see if money starts missing, if he start losing weight, or even getting a friend to follow him when he gets off work..someone he doesn’t know or recognize…you never know what he might be up to. Tell the friend to get license plates, etc. I hate to tell you to spy, but if he is doing drugs again, the last damn thing you want is criminal activity going on in your house. I hope that he isn’t having an affair. Sorry to be so mean, but when guys start ‘acting suspicious’..it’s usually for a reason. Good luck honey, my prayers are for you.
It definitely sounds like he’s on something.
Coke has many symptoms including sniffing alot,nose bleeds or a chapped nose (from the snorting),hyper-active,mood swings,dilated pupils are a big give-away,decreased appetite.
But then again,these symptoms can be the same for many drugs.
Here’s a web site that may help you identify more cocaine abuse symptoms

1. You need to talk to your preacher about it and get the backing that you need to help you with this problem .
2. You need to get a close family member with you and confront him . ( course he will probably Deny it )
3. one time that he don’t come home you need to see if you can follow him if that is not good you need to be a little snoopy and ask his friends .
If none of these work ; I don’t know what would help but by what you described is that yes he is doing something and by the sounds of it it is drugs and i wish you the best of luck and the lord help you through this
