What can you not go for a week without?
I was recently doing some summer field work, and ran over my ipod with a car. Never realized how much I need my music to get me through a week. What would be the worst thing you’d have to go without for a week?

My phone. With no time to socialize anymore it’s my only connection to friends family etc.
Let’s just be honest here… beer/wine. Not that I’m addicted, I just really enjoy my evening drink.
the internet- would feel like a lobotomy.
not that i’d know or anything
My blackberry and marijuana.
@essieness Ha! While we’re being honest, is it just because alcohol makes everything more tolerable?
My phone. I can’t go five minutes without it-I shudder to think what a week would be like!
Bathing
Brushing teeth
Cheese
My children but unfortunately due to seperation and a bitter ex it’s two weeks they and I go without. Why are exes so bitter about seperation and why do they find it so impossible to move on? It’s been two years without any change!
Well, let’s assume that life sustaining necessities are off the table. I, too, have difficulties without seeing my children for a week… but it’s a reality when they go on vacation with their father so, that’s out. It’d have to be the internet and specifically, Fluther.
My iPod, Voyager, chocolate!!
I will also assume, for the sake of interesting answers, that actual necessities are off the table. Considering I have no social life anymore, partly due to college, partly due to friends acting decidedly un-friend like… I’ll go with the internet. It’s my only outlet right now. Music, too.
No internet and a no cold beers on the weekend would make for a crappy week
Reading, probably, all things considered. It’s my comfort and escape, so a week without some kind of book would probably be hard.
Ok, I revise my answer. @shrubbery reminded me that I couldn’t go a day without reading, let alone a whole week!
The internet for me, living out here so far from anything that doesn’t close at 6 pm, the internet definitely helps to keep me sane and up to date with the happenings in the rest of the world.
And my dogs, I can’t imagine a week without my dogs. I almost always take at least 1 with me no matter where I go. I have one at my feet right now here at work. She is the official greeter to everyone who comes into the store.
Food
Water
Sex
Music
Steak
Money
Fluther / Internet
My computer
Well…it has to be getting some excercise..otherwise I just get crazy…no chemical balance
@Bluefreedom What happens if you dont get all these..except food and water to keep you alive?
@pops. I either get creative to make up for the differences or I suffer miserably from the loss of my needs. More of the former than the latter.
Some form of variation. I worked in a warehouse once, and I felt like I was dying of boredom packing the same things in the same way listening to the same top 40 rubbish on the radio. After three months, I went to university instead. It would be great for people who enjoyed it, and the people there were mostly great, but I just can’t do the same thing all day, every day.
Outside of the basics (food, water, air) I can’t think of anything, really. I could do without any of it for a week.
@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities…I have to agree with you, it would be music. The lack of my iPod or home audio system would result in my singing non-stop to compensate for the loss and everyone around me would soon be begging for a reunion of me and my tunes. See ya…wtf
PS: Oops: and more importantly, I could not do without @sccrowell…for even a day!
Ahhhhhhhh Fluther… My iPhone! Most Definitely could not go a week without WTF! MAJOR Withdrawal.
Internet. It drives me insane when we don’t have it. But, it’s nice for a few days.
I certainly can go without smoking cannabis, but I would much prefer having a nice bowl in the evening, just like @essieness‘s wine. The Internet I could not go without for even a few days.
Books or other reading material.
Oh yeah. Toilet paper too.
Water and toilet paper.
Showers and a toothbrush.
Oh. Caffeine is a must.
Water, toilet paper, caffeine. I’m good now.
@AstroChuck If you’re only drinking water and caffeine, is the toilet paper that necessary?
And porn. I’m definitely going to need lots of porn.
So now I’ve got water, tee-pee, caffeine, and lots and lots of porn. Done.
No sex would be the worst. Must haves: sex, music, coffee, yoga – everything else is pretty much optional for a week.
