Hi Winston!
I haven't been on SS much lately, so I have not a chance to get to know you.
But from reading this entire thread, I feel I do. :)
You're a kind and cheerful person.
You've selected shotgun w/00 buck, rated the most reliable of all methods 99+%.
And you've done your homework, investigating the proper aim for the brain stem.
You will not need that second cartridge.
I am happy to know you'll be finding your peace tonight.
I'll be asleep at 11 pm CST, but I will be dreaming about you.
Cheers to you Winston! :heart: :heart::hug::hug:

Its time for me to log off. I appreciate the positive support. I knew you would come through. Please fight for SS to survive as a viable website. There is nothing like it in the world, and if the pro-lifers shut it down, then there will be absolutely nothing left for us. Thank you Neko. I love you.
Cheers!
Winston

Winston,

I hope you find the peace you've been seeking.

People of ss, this is an example of a well planned, carefully thought out, non impulsive choice to end one's life.

Although I never chatted with Winston, the OP has done their research, and by the sounds of it, exhausted all other options.

To those who are "taste testing" Sn, please don't. To those who are impulsive, please try to be calm, I know it's not easy. Anxiety is the biggest enemy.

Wishing you all peace and love, especially Winston at this moment in time.

I'm so looking forward to it, @The Dark Chaos .Is your tag a Lovecraft reference, ie the Crawling Chaos? If I were one to pray today, it would be for Cthulhu to eat my house last!
Nope! Myy tag isn't a Lovecraft reference. Though now that you've prayed Cthulhu to eat your house last, I'd prayy him to eat myy house second last!

He also mentioned deleting files from the device he was using to access SS.
This was a smart and thoughtful move, to prevent people from blaming SS for his actions.

Rest in peace Winston, we love you! :'( :heart:

Rest in peace, Winston. :hug: Also, yes, I and most of the SS members will fight to ensure that our forum and space is alive as this is our place where we can talk freely about suicide and the choice of the right to die without consequence or censorship.

You said you were Winston because of 1984-

"He is back in the Ministry of Love, with everything forgiven, his soul white as snow. He was in the public dock, confessing everything, implicating everybody. He was walking down the white-tiled corridor, with the feeling of walking in sunlight, and an armed guard at his back. The long-hoped-for bullet was entering his brain."

I hope you're at peace.

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.

Hopefully you found peace. I'm glad I could help, even in any small way. See you on the other side..

Oh damn, I had a a few busy days and neglected my SS friends...Winston, if there is a an afterlife with internet access, I want you to know - I'm sorry I missed your last few hours, it would have been a pleasure to chat with you some more before....I'm quite sure that shotgun did the trick, and that your transition into nothingness was swift and painless. Since we both did the research....we both know it's the best way to go ! I'm slightly jealous now. I'll be remembering you until my day comes !

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.
Solid round choice, Hope they take you in peace. Sending My love a bit late, but still send It. I'm happy I was able to Be of help. I am honored for your thanks.
You're lucky you have a shotgun. I'm happy for you and I wish the best!
Yes they definitely are the best option when it comes to firearms! Do you not live in the United States?

I pity everyone who does not have access to firearms - I think it's the utmost TOP method to ctb without pain and without the dread of failure. As long as you know which gun/ammo to use and where to point you are "ready, steady, go !" anytime. And that gives you a great feeling of comfort and peace. So much that you just hang around until you are totally sure that NOW is the time. Well that's my feeling, it might not be so for others and of course I respect everyone's particular situation. But the research I was able to conduct thanks to the various threads here on SS, and the security it has given me are probably the reason why I am still alive and regularly on this site. Knowing you can just "hang in there" as long as life is just about bearable, and in case it becomes no longer possible to hold on to be able to just end it right here, right now, has given me the strength to carry on until now. Because I just KNOW that any second I decide to go ahead, it's just me and my gun and I'm out of here ! So I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed with their knowledge to make the "suicide by firearm" my chosen method. And also for the moral support eveyone has give me since I joined. If it wasn't for you guys I'd be dead by now and probably would have suffered in the process, so again, a big THANKS you're such great people and I love you all !

I'm so happy to hear that you feel that comfort! .357 magnum am I right :-). I'm so happy that you feel the way you do and confident and that it has brought you peace I can relate in all these ways and also I would like to thank everybody who is a part of this website in general and specifically those within the firearms/guns section. Everything you say is correct with the right coupling a firearm caliber and proper good ammunition I would say it is the best method or at least the quickest most free of pain. As always I'm here for anybody that has any questions and would like to know more about firearms and ballistics. Access to firearms really is a comforting thing to me not for any personal protection reasons but just for the thought that I can leave at any time on my own terms. Reading your posts has brought me joy I'm happy you feel the way you do! Much respect and mutual understanding. Runrunaway-endorphins
