Is anyone out there??? I need some help.
I am scared of "recreational" drugs. I come from a background of psychological abuse from alcoholic ex-husband, have always had a fear of drugs- any type of substance abuse.
I have been living with my significant other since August. He has a history of drug abuse, but "has adopted a healthier outlook on life", complete with exercise three times a week, eating only healthy foods, taking vitamins/ supplements, et cetera. He knows that I am scared to death of susbstance abuse- drug use of any kind. Even my own AD's.
At first he was drinking more than usual, but we had some stress involving my son who, as of two weeks ago, is no longer living with us but with my ex-husband.
Two Thursdays ago, my SI came home from work and I could tell right away that he was not himself. He was completely hyper, pupils all the way dilated, didn't fall asleep until about 1 am (usually conks out at 9!). I thought it was isolated- he told me it was too much Red Bull during the day...
Last night, he was acting the same way. And, last night, in the basement, I found one of his CD cases hidden in the basement rafters (the light bulb hit the plastic case, making it shine, so it drew my eye).
The CD case had white powder on it and faint images of lines. He was a "rather sophisticated" drug user, so I can't immediately assume it was cocaine- it could be some other snort-able drug.
How would I know, they've always scared the hell out of me.I couldn't sleep- dozed a little in my son's now ex-room- now I am at work. It was the only place I could think to come after "escaping" my home. Confrontation scares me just as much as illegal drugs.
What do I do now- please,please,please, can someone offer some advice???
