hi,

i would say slurring is a bog red flag, most definately i have never slurred from coffee, but i am an addict and have slurred plenty on pills. plus the fact he is hiding it. or trying to deny. coffee never made me slur. coffee made me bounce of the walls : ) hopefully more people will be along with better advice. i hope you get the answers you are loking for and pointed in the right direction. take care.

He also could be putting alcohol in the coffee, trying to hide it. Try to smell his cup when he's not looking.
what can you use as a pipe for crack?
i found cans
light bulbs
can you make tire gage readers into one because i found something like that
Ashley,
Yes, yes, and yes, all are used as crack pipes. Also, those little glass vials you buy at 7-11 that have the little roses in them, car antennas, any type of pipe (metal, copper, pvc).
Ashley,
I posted a thread called Crack Facts on the Friends and Family Board
