Question Help! I think my girlfriend uses cocaine

I have fallen in love with my girlfriend of 4 mos. and I have been concerned that she maybe using cocaine and was wondering what to look for...such as behavior changes..I have noticed she goes into the bathroom alot at times and she is in there for a while. When she comes out she is sniffling for a while..The sniffles are quick (like the crying type). She does have allergies as do I, so sometimes I think she has just blown her nose or something..She does maintain a stable lifestyle for herself..Years ago I tried it so I do know some things about it.. There are a few other reasons why I am worried about this..Her last boyfriend, I heard used it... Her extreme rapid mood changes and arguing over silly stuff...cash station uses seem high...I know it maybe too early to tell for sure...I don't know how much it costs or how much casual use would cost..But I sure would appreciate any advise. What other symptoms should I look for.

How honest can I be without you getting angry?

I say if you have only been with her for 4 months and you have this lack of communication and trust already its time to move on... Get out and find someone else...After 4 months its not love...Its sex, lust or maybe just the desire to be in love...Why waste time with someone that you cannot trust already. Do you want her to be the mother of your kids??

I am married to a crack addict...Not worth the pain or the confusion it cost me or my family.. I was into the relationship 20 years when he suddenly tried the stuff on a whim...Got instantly hooked...Good guy gone bad...Yours is starting out bad...

Find yourself another my friend..there are plenty out there that want a good guy... Do not settle...Its your life...make it a great one...

My ex did coke and the signs I saw were mood swings, always jittery you know like talks a mile a min and always figiting playing with hands, pens anything to keep moving. The sniffing like you said and watch for the odd nosebleed. And the money as well its an expensive habit.

You could also look for periods of deep depression followed by "high" or excited periods. I suppose that "mood swings" covers it, although the depression piece is significant. Also, it may be helpful to know that most coke addicts could care less about their appearance or anything other than their drug. Of course, that's true with most substances. Good luck here bud, if this is what is going on...the road is going to be really tough for both of you.
