My husband has been, since early summer, been picking fights (over such insignificant things) that result in him leaving several times a month, usually for at least 10-12 hours....he tells me that he plays poker (he is in denial of his gambling addiction) and "that's all". I have just found out from a reliable source that he leaves the casino to go to a nearby small town with a "bad reputation"....he'll be gone about 20 minutes and then return to the casino....sometimes he leaves several times and returns. When he comes home, always remorseful, there is no indication of alcohol use, no smell of weed....ok; so I have also found out he is withdrawing (for us) a LOT of money when he does this...more than he plays poker with, I know. This is why I am asking for help: I found a large razor blade in his trunk (an industrial type, about 2in long) and his excuse for having it was absurd (he is not a "handyman").....would you be concerned if you were me? Is there anything else I should be looking for??? Thank you for listening....Sam.....I'm sorry...what I am concerned about specifically is the possibility of cocaine use????

I have no experience with cocaine so can't tell you anything, but the Friends and Family forum would likely have a lot of info relevant to your situation. Welcome!:ghug3
