Drowning while drunk

[unsaiddes]

Took a bit of a break from this site but keep crawling back because my suicidal thoughts are one of the only comforting constants in my messed up head. Wanted to get people's thoughts on exactly what the title of this post describes.

I don't have a set date or timeframe for CTB, but my most solidly planned method is drowning in a freshwater pond/lake after getting completely sloshed to lower my coordination and coherence. I'm thinking of a specific body of water near where I live, where I would be unlikely to get caught or rescued if I execute my plan in the middle of the night. The most realistic way to do this would be to drive there sober, park, get as drunk as possible as fast as possible on liquor, then hop the short fence and shrubbery and wade into the water until reaching the point of no return and letting myself drown.

Any opinions on this plan and its likelihood of success? Anyone know how fast it takes on average to drown in freshwater, or if any easily accessible drugs would be better for this plan than just drinking? I do want my body to be retrieved for my family's sake; should I give directions on where to find me in my note?

This is very similar to my plan. Gotta drive there sober, but on an empty stomach it won't take much alcohol to lower my inhibitions.

I've read that it can take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes to drown.

Never thought about wading out to the deep part. I've always been fixated on jumping.

If I decide to start thrashing about in an effort to save myself, I need it to be in vain. If anyone sees me, I need them to not be compelled to follow me. So it has to be a jump.

If you want to make it easier for your body to be found, then you can leave it in your note. But I don't want to reveal my spot because if I chicken out the first time around, I don't want any extra patrol or attention drawn to it for my second attempt.

They'll find my car on the bridge and will be able to determine what happened.

If I could teleport - I'd do it this very minute.

Thanks for your input. On the flip side I've never considered jumping; I'm not aware of any high vantage points or bridges above water near me, and I think I'd personally be more likely to back out if I had to look down into the abyss of my inevitable death.

I do worry about the splashing and potential drunken screaming for my life waking up somebody in one of the houses near the lake, but it still seems like my best shot.

When I make the decision on when it's going to happen I need to be completely sure of it, and it's not this exact time unfortunately.

It's very unfortunate the world has brought you back here.
Hopefully you find some ease in whatever you choose.

If the water is freezing cold it may make you "snap" out of being drunk.
I'm not sure how secluded the area is but of course someone may spot you.
Have you ever tried swb before?
Just as a reference.
And also how far you depend on going out.

I'm using a combination of methods this is one of them as a back up...
Partial/drugs/booze/swb/meds/weights
I can't remember the exact time drowning but it's easy to look up.
but the point would be to be "blacked out" before hand.
Why I'm adding drugs/meds.

I do want my body to be retrieved for my family's sake; should I give directions on where to find me in my note?

If you want you could leave a note... that's your choice. One in your car. Or a scheduled email to send.

Drowning is my back up plan too in case I can't get SN, and my plan is kind of similar although it also includes handcuffs and perhaps even footcuffs.

Your plan sounds interesting. With only handcuffs, would I be able to tread water for long if I swam far, far out?

It really depends on your SI. at that point.

The question is whether you know how to swim or not. When you know how to swim you can keep calm even though you are not able to fully move your arms.

This is something I am now considering.
I'm thinking thinking of a massive dose of benzos and alcohol and kicking a backpack of weights to myself and just dropping into the water.
