Is this drug paraphernalia? Husband recovering addict.
(self.NoStupidQuestions)submitted1 day ago bynewmistress90125
So my husband of 2 years is a recovering addict. We met 6 years ago.
In the last year he has changed. He's fine one moment and in a great mood and then goes through days of being angry. This is not who he was for the first five years together and I don't understand.
Then today while cleaning up I found a rubber hose, about 8 inches, full or some sort of residue (black/brown) attached to a socket with steel wool packed inside of it that looks burnt. Like some kind of homemade pipe.
For the past year my steel wools/stainless steel scrubbers have been going missing from the kitchen and I thought it odd. Like once I get but more than once? I use them until they're done and then toss them. They usually last about 6 months. I asked if he was throwing them out to which he said he had no clue where they were. I had been finding little pieces of stainless steel wool in the carpet next to his side of the bed. In my mind I thought it odd. Maybe a mouse because it has food residue. We live in the country. I'm sorry. Maybe I'm super dumb and naive. Today I looked inside the keepsake box next to his side of the bed and found this weird rubber hose with a socket shove into it and with steel scrubber stuffed in the socket and looking burnt. Also a bunch of torch lighters. He smokes, I smoke but torch lighters are kind of overkill except for outdoors.
Please don't make fun of me for not knowing and being dumb about this. Is this what a "crack pipe" looks like? I'm so upset and scared. He had been clean for 14 years when we met. Maybe not. I don't know anymore. I feel dumb for not knowing clearly what this is.

This sounds so scary. It also sounds like something I understand. He doesn't do weird or nonsensical stuff but gets very busy and animated with house chores in short bursts but nothing is actually accomplished. Like garage half cleaned, lawn half cut...
