Cocaine Addiction & Recovery Support Group
Cocaine addiction is the excessive intake of cocaine, and can result in physiological damage, lethargy, depression, or a potentially fatal overdose. Though the immediate craving to do more cocaine is strong and very common, this feeling usually subsides in most users within an hour. This craving can, as it has in many users, develop rather quickly into an intense...

Hello, My husband of 35 years is useing ocxycontin without a prescription and i bedeive that he is also useing cocaine. I am not for sure because he has never done it infront of me but i see his behaviour and mood changes.
If someone first snorts cocaine will this make there nose run alot and there eyes get really watery?? I don't know why but it feels like a guessing game wondering if he is on anything and if so what is it. I am 53 years old, and I have seen alot of pain and lived alot of pain I don't know how to not let his problem be mine and to change my focus on something else. If anyone can help me with some answers of some of the signs I would really apprecitate it.
Thank you

some signs to look for are a "constant cold" which means his nose will be clogged up alot and his eyes will water sometimes, like you do when you have a cold. And yes, the nose will run alot depending on how much he is doing it.Can you be honest with your husband and ask him, will he tell you the truth?

it's possible that he's snorting the oxys- my daughter's father did that all the time- he'd cough a lot, watery eyes, stuffed nose... everything you're saying- anyway, just wanted you to know that cocaine isn't the only thing he could be snorting- apparantly there is a bigger 'high' if the pills are snorted instead of swallowed- may God bless you- be strong...

I believe he is addicted to whatever he is using. What he is using does not matter. What matter is that you need to wake up and face this head on. A person that using prescription drug without Doctor's direct order has entered the rim of addiction. How bad his situation is depends on how long he has been using and for how much. Prescription drugs such as Vicodin and Ocxycontin are Opiet and derivatives of Opium. As much as you do not want this to be your problem, unfortunately you are dragged into it. I can see that you are more worry about coke than ocxycontin. All the same. He may not be a junkie and shoot heroin, but that does not change the fact that he is an addict. Addiction destroys relationships due to dishonesty, lying , hidings, cheating and... Talk to him as this is his last chance. Get the family involve. Do not hide it. The more you hide this, the more you are enabling him. You need to draw the line. Get it in the open with your family. You can find Nar anon groups in your area (check online foe nar anon meetings). This groups are support group of family members of addicts. You will share and learn from their experiences, strength and hopes. You will be in my prayers.
