Cocaine Addiction?

Question by Jessica: cocaine addiction?
I am starting to put two and two together. My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years. He has used cocaine recreationally for several years before we met but it was only once every three or four months. We moved a year ago and about 6 months ago he was able to get cocaine much easier and has now started using it every weekend. Ever since that time his attitude has changed and his anger has gotten out of hand as you can probably tell by my previous posts. The therapist has told me that she believes that he has Intermittent Explosive Disorder, after reading more about this disorder it has mentioned that cocaine can cause these angry outbursts. I moved out of our house a week ago and have been staying with my sister since due to his anger. I love him and don’t want to give up on him if he has a problem and I know I can’t help him but I feel like I should do more to support him, what do I do?

Answer by misskenjr
It could be a type of addiction. You are drawn to books, but I’m thinking it’s a shopping thing. Instant gradification, happiness at buying something (I go through that myself) and then you don’t use it. I don’t know if it’s books that you’re addicted to becuase you’re not reading them. Check out the link below, and look further into schopaholics anonymous to find meetings near you. Good luck 🙂

Answer by jeffh3000
In a 2003 and 2005 report, the national institutes of health showed some pretty bleak figures.

They estimated that in 2005 that 48 million Americans, 20% of population, had abused prescription drugs.

Based off the 2002 survey, just that year, 4.7 million people used prescription drugs “non-medically” for the first time. This means new abusers of prescription medications on top of exister abusers.

Data for *new abusers* of drugs that year broke down as following:
* 2.5 million used pain relievers
* 1.2 million used tranquilizers
* 761,000 used stimulants
* 225,000 used sedatives
