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.
