My boyfriend said he is not using cocaine anymore but he's always blowing his nose and sneezing.He has no allergies.He stays out all night sometimes, is always irritable.Do you think he is still doing it?

I'll start by saying my drug education isn't the greatest but point out that I have known and worked with some drug addicted clients. That said and hopefully considered, the nose blowing, sneezing, irritability could be signs of his body detoxing, him readjusting to not having the coke in his system and also it could be a sign that he's having difficulty dealing (especially if he's irritable). It could also be why he stays out all night.

Unfortunately when you're with someone with substance abuse issues, you're never sure.

The thing you need to decide however is what you're going to do if you find out (or come to the conclusion) that he's using still / again. Are you going to leave?

You're not a bad person if you do - substance abuse can take a massive toll on those around - especially partners.

If you're worried about this (which you seem to be - and you're entitled to as someone who loves him would and should be), speak to your local physician or even an Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD as we refer to it in the business) counsellor.

There are some really great support groups for family members and loved ones of AOD abuse sufferers / recovering addicts.

Good luck with your situation.

Sincerely, Meg
