Cocaine: Cocaine Facts

Question: I suspect my girlfriend may have been using cocaine?

Ive been going out with my girlfriend for like 9 months, and about a month or two in the relationship I notcied she had a bit of a temper. I dismissed it and kept going, but about 2/ 3 months into it, I found out her relatives do cocaine, weed, and idk what else, and that she used to as well :S. I asked her if she still did(was gonna leave her on the spot if she did) and she said she had given it up because now that I was there her life was a lot better, which I suppose was possible, but hard nonetheless. A couple of months after, we started fighting, quite a lot. She was paranoid, said I had done/ said things I have never even done, we were arguing over such stupid things and she blamed it on 'her period' even though her periods were A: All over the place, and B: the arguements were all month long, and a period doesnt last that long. Anyways after all this, the arguing and the mood swings and all the other crap, I still stayed, but a month ago it got so bad I had to go. It was arguing everyday, she was having the usual angry outbursts, and I found her in our room when i was tidying in the room next to it and came back to get something, with a bag of coke, which she claimed 'She must have put away before i came up/ maybe someone asked her to hold it for them while she was drunk' and I watched her bin it. So a month ago the arguements/ paranoia was getting so bad I just left, I snapped, told her exactly where to shove it, and left her, but I ended up coming back the next day because I had left ID/ Bank account details:S Im tryna get the money to leave again now, next payday is at the end of september. The wierdest thing is, this WHOLE month, she hasnt argued with me once:S tiny things yeah but like nowhere near as bad as it was? She promised she would change and she has, but the reason im asking this is because I read you get withdrawal symptoms so doesnt that mean she would be acting up again? Why do I think shes taking it? : She goes out to peoples houses where they do it sometimes and will stay the evening/ late into the night, sometimes not texting back, and come back drunk off her ass. I have a feeling she stays out that late as I will be able to tell the physical symptoms if she did it in the house/ 5 mins before she came home. The moodswings- They were too frequent and paranoid to be a 'Period'. I found her with a bag of it... She was having auditory hullucinations. She asked for it on a night out, she didn't have any as I was there, but she was drunk off her ass and asked for some. She doesnt seem bothered that her family do it. She admits to doing it in the past. Yay! A useless comment! I wasn't even crying =/

Sounds like a really messy relationship. Mood swings and some of the other symptoms you described could be signs of a mental illness OR drug use, but all in all her behavior seems fairly suspicious, and it sounds like you don't trust her. I would go with your gut feeling on this. Some other signs she could be using cocaine are: bloody or sore looking nose, excessive energy, chemical taste in her mouth when you kiss her. But...all in all I think you would be better of without such a negative influence in your life. Find a nice girl.

Does she sniff all the time like she has a runny nose? if she does then she probably still does it. not all people have bad withdraw symptoms, especially if they were not a heavy user. she probably is trying to change. it sounds like it since y'all have not been fighting the last month. if you want to know for sure you can go buy a drug test at Walgreen's. they have all different kinds. i was going to get one for my brother. and if she refuses to take the test, then you know. but if she pulls the whole you don't trust me thing, then tell her that you just want to know where you life is headed and that drugs and lies are not in your future but tell her that you will apologize from the bottom of your heart if you are wrong and she isn't doing any of it. Don't let her go out before she takes the test because there is stuff that you can use to get drugs out of your system, but of course you can't force her to stay just tell her that if she does leave before she takes the test then you will assume that she is going to go and get some cleanser.

Walk away as soon as you can my friend. Of course she is using and druggies are liars, cheats, thieves and parasites. If she is "out at a friends " and shes getting off her face then at some point she will drunkenly sleep with somebody else - it might have happened already. The fact that her family all use is key - shes not going to get away from it. Drugs ruin lives - yes they do, so stick with your gut instinct and get away.

Mood swings most times are bipolar and that isn't any fun either. I would say if she is thin or she has recently became thin, it would be cocaine especially since her family uses it and she would have easy access to coccaine. Either way, leave the drama because she is only going to break your heart in the end.
