Answer 1

Omar would rather use heroin than spend time with his family. his wife is fed up and she is planning to leave him. this is a case of drug abuse.

Answer 2

The correct answer is drug abuse.
Omar is abusing drugs, which means that he is using them excessively, so much that he has become an addict. His new lifestyle is affecting his family, as well as his own attitudes towards them - he doesn't seem to want to spend time with them, and his wife is willing to leave him if he doesn't cure his addiction.
