But cocaine often only remains detectable in the urine for a few days 2-4, for a non-habitual user. If she was using a lot of cocaine you would almost surely know. It is hard to keep significant cocaine use a secret. The bottom line: You simply need to decide if you feel like she is a person that is trustworthy and then base a decision on whether or not she is the right person for you on that.

I would like to add, that after finding the cocaine in her drawer, I purchased a at home urine test for cocaine. When she arrived home, I approached her about finding it and had her take the urine test immediately. She tested negative. Through my own research, I found that cocaine stays in your urine for approximately 3-7 days for non-habitual users. What are the methods that you know of to beat the urine test? Any other suggestions to determine usage (besides what is listed here? We also spend a lot of time together (just like a married couple would, if not more) and besides work or going to the bathroom I don't know when she would have time to do it. I'm sure since I recently found her stash that she'll keep it very close by and under her constant control. Is there something I should be looking for that might clue me in as to where she might be hiding it or keeping it? Thanks again for your comments! Thank you for your response!

If she used to be an addict, then she is still an addict -- that is her brain chemistry hasn't changed -- and it is unwise for her to use cocaine at all. The main indicator of addiction is that a person continues to use/drink in the face of consequences that they are know are being caused by the drug use. If she is not having any consequences, she either will develop some soon or she is not a true drug addict. Regardless, cocaine is a very nasty drug that causes extensive damage to the brain. It is best not to use it at all, whether you are a drug addict or not. Coke is a dead end street. Well, cocaine is the type of drug that is best avoided by any person with a past history of abuse.

She made the claim she no longer has a problem. She doesn't appear to be showing signs or symptoms of cocaine abuse. She also claims that her most recent use, since she got over her problem w/ cocaine, has been recreational for partying purposes (to stay awake to party longer). I recently found some cocaine in her chest of drawers and she claims once we had started dating she threw her stash out and just forgot to throw out what I recently found. Please respond, I need some insight on the matter. Thanks! I have a girlfriend of about nine months who told

They think that they are being smart and covering there tracks and that no one "knows." In reality every one close to the addict usually knows what is actually happening. It's too bad but it's the way the addict mind works. It’s not that she thinks you’re stupid but rather that the addict often operates under a false impression that no one can see what they are doing.
