WHen my AH is binging none hears from him, although his binges are lasting shorter and shorter these days, now average is 1 to 2 days, with lots of calls the last days. I can barely remember the long ones, but I remember they were terrifying for me. Crack addicts seem to vary. My husband is a binger uses ever 7 to 10 days with every other time being longer. His long time friend recently used with him, then went MIA even from him, checking with other NA friends he was told that the other guy would be gone weeks contacting noone until he ends up in jail, thats been his cycle for years.
It does seem though binge times the barely stop to eat or sleep continuous use, they hide from their loved ones, I know my AH would be spotted crossing the street near various pawn shops and we'd know he was alive
