Since he told you he was doing coke before, go with your gut on this. It does sound like he is still using since his nose is messed up still. Trust me when I say I hid my coke use so well too. One of my ex's is an ex coke user and she couldn't tell most times when I was on it. Addicts learn to hide our addiction well. Let us know how it goes and take care of yourself first. Good luck!

I agree with avis, get a drug test kit and surprise him with it. If he won't take it, then you pretty much have your answer. Sniffing pills damages the nose also, but with drugs like coke and meth, it's so much harder on the nasal cavities cause they are cut with so many different agents. My nose was a mess when i was sniffing coke and those scabs, didn't go away for a few months after. What signs besides the nose have you noticed with your boyfriend to make you think he's doing coke?

Here is a really easy way to find out go to the drug store buy a drug test don't tell him you are going to come home ask  him to take it. If he resists or says he cant go or get really defensive that will give you a good idea also either go into the bathroom when he takes it or make him keep the door open .Again if he gets really mad that's not good.

Sounds like he could be using something. It could be cocain, since that is the hardest to spot. If you haven't noticed other things than his nose that is the most possible thing. Try to see if he is doing strange things with his jaws, chewing his cheek or something like that, or if his pupils are big.
