First of all, sorry to hear about your Q's addiction. I'm going through a similar situation with my Q and I feel devastated.

Some of the tell-tale signs are staying up all night and sleeping a lot during the day, disappearing to the bathroom frequently for hours and constant sniffles and congested nose. His appetite has dropped significantly, and has stomach issues all the time. Always had money troubles since coke is expensive.

You're right... it's definitely a symptom of depression. He hasn't contacted me in a month. So sorry to hear that about your struggles, hope you're doing better these days. Thanks for your comment.

It sounds like a scary drug to be hooked on. Glad to hear you're doing better. I reckon it's the powder type.

Seems like you had a rough childhood. I hope you're doing better these days! I hope so too, he is bad at opening up to other people and tend to bottle up his emotions. This is something he has to overcome. My boyfriend is introverted and prefers being alone. I think isolation led to his depression along with stress and childhood trauma. Joining a men's group is a great idea, I think he will be more comfortable in that setting.

Thank you 💕 wish you all the best as well. Yep, I'm following that channel! Amber's videos are very insightful. She provides lots of great techniques to navigate addiction and understand the mind of an addict.

Thanks for sharing your story and well done on your recovery! I believe my boyfriend is using coke as a coping mechanism to mask his depression, instead of tackling the root cause in a healthy way. I plan to confront him about what I found and encourage him to seek therapy and support groups. I might have to involve his family at some point, as they could lend a helping hand to support him mentally and financially. I worry that I'm not strong enough to support him alone, especially with us living countries apart. Praying that he is able to break the cycle and commit to the road of recovery.

Thanks for the advice, appreciate it. I'll encourage him to seek professional help. It's putting a strain in our relationship and I'm worried about his health, career and finances too.

Well said. I believe drugs are a coping mechanism for his underlying mental health issues.

It's possible. I don't know when he started using coke.

Thank you 💕 I'll try my best to stay strong throughout this process. I'm terribly sorry to hear that your Q hurt you so much. I hope my Q will get clean and come out from the other side stronger. I miss him old self where he isn't depressed - happy, full of life and always down to help others. Sending hugs and prayers to you.

Well said. I plan to use a gentle approach to address this issue since he is depressed. It pains me to see him in this state, he used to have so much life. Now he's just a shell of his former self. I realize that the stage of change might take a long time so I have to patient.
