Dearest SS friends. This site and its members are the BEST.
I am CTB 9 June 2020, 11:00 pm CST,. Good bye and thank you.
Do not be sorry. Please don't be sad. There is no need. I beg you to have the spirit of a New Orleans funeral, or the dancing pall-bearers. Celebrate with me!
CTB was long planned, known for years and now it is time. Everything has fallen in to place, the signs are all there. I quit my job about the first of April and have just been chilling, eating favorite take-out, watching movies, smoking tons of cigarettes. Living in a totally unsustainable dream life spending out my meager savings.
This has been thought out very carefully, and my CTB is not impulsive. I am the calmest and most at peace than in over twenty-five years. I am excited for this journey into eternal dreamless sleep.
I am aware that I can change my mind. I know it is OK to back out and that you are here for me either way.
I have considered and tried alternatives, cementing my confidence that CTB is the solution, and I am resolute in my decision. Cheers!

My bus ticket is a mossberg 12 gauge, w/ 00 buckshot. Anyone considering the firearm method, I highly recommend desensitizing by frequently placing it, unloaded, in your mouth. Don't wait until CTB date for the first time to put a gun barrel in your mouth. Practice depressing the trigger as well. It all takes getting used to. I overcame SI by doing my dry-fire practice routine every night, for the last 10 weeks- I smoke a bowl of weed and walk out back, smoke a couple cigarettes then bend over and find the right angle of the barrel in my mouth.
My back garden is quite private and woodsy, and that is where I will depart. There is no chance of projectiles hitting any neighbors or residences. I place the shotgun on the ground in front of my seat pointing up, put my mouth over the barrel. Click!
It's been fun and challenging to give things away without raising suspicion, eventually gave most of my stuff to the charity shop. Anybody else do that?
For those that ask, "Why CTB?" It's the usuals- don't fit in, no place for me in this world, addictions, mental disorders etc.

I will self-ban couple hours before CTB, although I would love to be with you to the last minute. Alas, I must clear my computer, and do some last bit of being conscious.
Any questions? I am an open book to you, and am hanging very close to the site up until self-ban time.

Winston

PS Special goodbye to : @LastRide , @Runrunaway , @niloc , @Good4Nothing and @lifeisbutadream . You guys have have given me much comfort and knowledge, tho you probably didn't know it.

It sounds like the last few months have been very relaxing for you as you prepared for today. Hopefully all of your research pays off and this works well for you.

Just out of curiosity, I was wondering if the "tons of cigarettes" you have been smoking are Winston cigs. The irony of doing so is a bit amusing from my side of the screen, considering your username.

This weapon was bought for the purpose of CTB. I have never been a firearms enthusiast, so practicing for the mechanics and to overcome SI has been crucial. I have fired it three times, having taken it out to the country to make sure it works, and to get a feel for it. My God, it is SO POWERFUL!
I will insert these two shells, although one is certainly enough. I have seen the photos of CTB shotgun survivors with their face blown off, so I know proper angle is critical. The second shell is just in case I must take a second shot, but that is unlikely because I have done my research.

Ha! Thanks @Lost in a Dream. No, I smoke Nat Shermans! Winston is from Orwells 1984. Thanks for keeping the mood lighthearted, mate.

Hey yeah @whitelacedress, it has been surreal. The stars lined up for me at the time virus lockdowns began. When it became mandatory to isolate, i seized the opportunity with both hands. Already an introvert, quarantine has been a blessing that helped me reflect, chill and prepare in unquestioned isolation. Peace to you!
If that's what you want, then I won't feel sad or sorry.
Thanks for staying chin-up with me @Alec, though it is not my place to tell another how to feel. That's for therapists!
Enjoy your day. x
I am grateful for the positive thoughts, @Soul . Its the only thing I want or need today, and it is a great day!
Enjoy the ride to blissful freedom.
@StateOfMind the literature buff! thanks for the wish and for dropping Hemmingway references. Yeah, blissful freedom with Earnest! Cheers mate!

Hey thanks @Sad_Autistic_boy_101 . Yeah, I can appreciate the envy you feel. I take it for granted as I live in USA, and then in a state where guns are easier to get in almost all the other states. USA has some famously fucked up stuff in its past and definitely in its present, but as a CTBer, man I am so glad I can get my gun of choice, and on demand. Do you live where arms are inaccessible?
Regarding two shells, for sure if I was unsuccessful with my first shot I doubt that I could even find the gun, much less pump the second round and fire again. But I will put two just to be safe, because who knows....?
But I am not worried, for my ressearch has convinced me that I am doing it correctly, and there is virtually no chance for failure.
