What is the longest time you have gone without food?

So just drinking water only, not nutritional drinks. Perhaps it was due to a health issue or maybe you were in the military on an exercise or lost somewhere?

For me i was hiking with two friends during the 90's in a southern mountainous area of Australia and we weren't lost but one guy twisted his ankle and it slowed us down and we had to do the final five days through very mountainous country with only an onion, a packet of soup mix, some tea leaves and plenty of water. One guy had a chocolate bar left but ate it all himself. There was no adequate cell phone coverage back then. By the end i had lost a lot of weight, i was very lethargic and i could look at leaves on trees and was tempted to eat them along with all the bugs. During this time we also walked about 70km and I lost about 12kg and i was already very lean. At the end we finally got to a road near a small village and flagged down a motorist who picked us up. I actually didn't feel hungry at this point... it was like i was beyond it. I navigated with an outdated map which caused us to miss a small settlement along the way and compass.. so nothing electronic as that's all we had. Anyone been through something similar?

Here's a photo i took of a deserted hut in the distance that we came across.. it was shelter but had no food.

@SW-User I know this isn't none of my business, but I hope you're in like some recovery treatment or something. I hope you're doing better man
SW-User
@BoobooSnafu the following week, I went to get tested because I got some heart murmurs while in the bender but too high to care u til the comedown came and smashed a dragon chase session, I felt constant indigestion for a couple of days so I went to get it checked, a few medics visits later to find out that I had a silent heart attack not knowing I was having one when it happened.

@Lostpoet as mentioned, it was 3 years ago, and I’ve been clean for over a year except one little taste of H on my birthday last week.
SW-User

SW-User

Hahahahahahaha...... i got nuthin'


I'm dying' here !!!😂😂😂😂

You didn't go cold turkey at all.....you grabbed it and fucked it twice !!!!!!!🤣🤣
SW-User
@BoobooSnafu nothing could be kicked cold turkey lol, I ended up quitting them both for a cocaine addiction which was harder for me to kick than the other two surprisingly.
@SW-User Mmm....gotta agree on the cold turkey bit.
I always found an 'opposing' drug helped with the come down.
But Geez Man.....you don't do anything by halves do you ?😁
SW-User
@BoobooSnafu I’m an all or nothing kind of guy lol. I don’t do anything half arsed.
@SW-User no shit sherlock !!!!!!

Ah dear. Well.....at least you've lived life to the extremes.
the knowledge gained from that is priceless.

the downside is.....everyone else looks .....'grey' by comparison.

I dont envy your solitude that comes from this.
that type of hard earned 'enlightenment'....can feel .....suffocating in it;s isolation.
SW-User
@BoobooSnafu so true, like you are the only neon light amongst the yellows, sometimes I am amazed that not one of these extremes has offed me yet lol. Two years ago I felt like I was being a cocktease towards me reaper lol.
@SW-User Hahahahaa.....

Just give that Reaper the bird Man 🖕

you suffer.....but you have strength that other people will never discover within themselves.

your visions show how brightly you burn everyday....and that is better than living a life of grey ashes.

You will find a twin flame....but it won't be till you make peace with your own burning.
And there in lies the hardest challenge......peace.
SW-User
@BoobooSnafu I not only have him the bird, I flashed my arse at him yelling “you’ll never get this you’ll never get this” just hope he don’t break out of his cage and got it too soon lol.
Lol I am a Firesign pretty much lol, it’s my fave natural element too.
Those words at the end of the comment gave me some hope I could make use of lately lol.
@SW-User hahahaha....keep that ass shiny man. I don't doubt you...even when you yourself feel it.

i f you could only see you from my perspective. You make me laugh at your vibrance....your totally individual perspective.

Someone just told me this recently.......dont believe the mirror.....it lies.

there is more to you , than you will ever acknowledge .

you just have to fuckin' believe me !!!!😂
SW-User
@BoobooSnafu I do believe you, I had a scary dream which involved a mirror the other night, let’s keep from them for a while lol.
Sometimes I deal with the worst outcomes of life is by having some fucked up humor about it lol.
Laughter is the best medicine right? Lol.
@SW-User Oh yeah....laughter is the blood of life.

Why the fuck do think I'm here !😂
SW-User
@BoobooSnafu it sure is. That’s why normal easily offended people just don’t click with me, I need to be around people who are as fucked up as me even more lol.
