Using the first time you started gaming as a starting point, what's the longest period of time you've gone without playing a video game?

I went about a year once when I was working/travelling, a couple of years back. I remember the first time I played a game when I came home, I busted out a 12 hour session on Command and Conquer: Red Alert on the PS1 with a friend using a LINK cable. It was awesome.
