Me and my man just got finish smoking 140 dollars worth of crack. This is an every day thing as long as we have the money. We are not starting 2014 right.
I want help. I can't anymore. We've been at this for 2 years now.

I can't tell you about crack specifically or how to get out of it.
But I can tell you about Alcohol addiction, one must want to give it up and admit they have a problem. Looks like you got that covered.
Next you need to find medical support to detox safely. either trough professional help or with your doctor's assistance.
Then it's a matter of joining a support group or multiple groups and commit to work on changing your life and attack the underlying causes of what got you there in the first place so you can avoid relapsing.
The fact that your partner is in the same situation can make things somewhat complicated if you are the only one that want's sobriety.
Welcome to SR, other of our good members with experience with crack will be able to point you in better direction.
There is a substance abuse section here, you can start reading in there.

Narcotics Anonymous describes itself as a "nonprofit fellowship or society of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem". I think it would be a great idea if you could attend a meeting there, or at least call them to see where you can start. You can find more about them here: NA.
Finally, if there's a clinic or a doctor's office in your area, I agree with Patman about detox. You need to get clean and get the drugs out of your bloodstream and body, because until then your decisions are all going to be clouded by the drug use. It sounds like you can't quit on your own, and this is really an endless cycle until you reach out for help.
Good luck.

Hi Sarah. I hope you can start your quit, and start it soon. You really need to do it for yourself in my opinion. If your bf quits too that's great but if not, you have to keep at it regardless. Going to see a doctor and opening up about your addiction and any other issues or questions is a good start. That's what helped me on day one I got checked out and opened up about some embarrassing things that had been weighing on me for a long time that were actually nothing to worry about but had my "running away" for years. You have to think for yourself of yourself. You are number one and you deserve a clean and free life. And the key is that you can do it.

Hi, my name's Sarah too 
I know addiction to stimulants- cocaine then meth. The #1 thing is to focus on hydrating & nourishing your body--you know how the habit makes it nearly impossible to eat & drink). Your body is likely starving for many vitamins & nutrients. Then let yourself crash & your body get some much-needed rest. Then when you wake up feeling crappy, do YOGA. A lot of people don't wanna hear it, but it helps TREMENDOUSLY!! Good luck
