Sad I fear for my b/f he really wants to quit but feeals he is into far. I fear not knowing if I need to call an ambulance in time if need be when he is going through with drawals. I have never done this drug and have no experience with it with others. What can I do to help him. I love this man with all my heart and want to be their for him

I never heard of anyone having withdraw symptoms from cocaine. The addiction is mostly psychological. I used Coke for over 9 years and I don't mean a little, I was a big user. I quit with support from a local NA (Narcotics Annonymous) group. The most your boyfriend will feel is tired with maybe some body soreness. Don't feed into his addiction, make him stand strong, it's not pity he needs. Get him to a NA meeting everyday, don't let him tell you "I am not like those people"HE IS AN ADDICT. It's tough love time, if you love him, it's the only way. Forget about the crying and blaming other people for his problem. Your dealing with the addiction, not the person. I know I sound cruel but I have helped and been helped by former addicts, "it will work if you work it". You will hear that every meeting at NA. Go with him for a few meetings, you may find you need help as well.
I wish you both the best. You can do this...

cocaine withdrawal doesn't kill and the addiction is not one of the body, but some people might wish they would die when undergoing withdrawal from cocaine.

it will not kill your boyfriend, but if gives up after a while and relapses the danger of overdosing is a real one.

there is no excuse for not stopping it though.

good luck honey
