This is a thread for my first attempt by way of carbon monoxide (CO) and more specifically charcoal burning.

This is the protocol so far, what do you guys think?

Protocol

T-08:00/16:00:
Start fasting starts/have your last meal.

T-06:00/18:00: Ingest an antiemetic.

T-04:00/20:00: Ingest an antiemetic.

T-03:30/20:30: Put 25x1mg (25mg) Lorazepam together with 4x25mg (100mg) of Quetiapine in 50ml of water let them dissolve.

T-02:00/22:00: Ingest an antiemetic.

T-01:45/20:15: Stir the water and mix it with 400ml of Coca-Cola Zero and 3 shots of whiskey in the 500ml plastic bottle.

T-01:30/22:30: Pack the mixture along with the 2x500mg (1g) Paracetamol, 5x1mg (5mg) Lorazepam, tape, lighter, scissors, sleeping pad, bucket, aluminumfoil, antiemetic, chimney starter, bricks, newspaper and tent into the backpack.

T-01:15/22:45: Bring the backpack and charcoal down into the basement. Set up the tent and cover all seams except for the entrance with tape. Leave the tape inside along with the scissors.

T-01:00/23:00: Inflate and position the sleeping pad as far up against the wall as possible with the headrest facing opposite the entrance. Position the bricks near the entrance.

T-00:50/23:10: Ingest 5x1mg (5mg) Lorazepam to calm the nerves, 2x500mg (1g) of Paracetamol to prevent possible headaches and an antiemetic to prevent nausea.

T-00:45/23:15: Put the charcoal in the chimney starter and put newspaper underneath it. Put the chimney starter outside. Light the newspaper on fire with the lighter and let the charcoal burn for about 45min.

T+00:00/00:00: Now that the charcoal has stopped burning/smoking and is ashy/grey/white, pour them into the pot, cover half of the top with tinfoil and position it inside on top of the bricks.

T+00:05/00:05: Quickly seal the entrance seams/zipper(s) with tape and drink the mixture.

T+00:10/00:10: Lie down and drift off.

It looks good to me. Though make sure you have sufficient charcoal.
Also, get a CO meter so you can ensure that the amount of CO in the tent is sufficient enough to ctb and you'll not end up brain damaged. CO meter is going to be costly, but it's worth getting one to ensure no brain damage happens

Looks well thought out. Make sure to light coals outside first.

> cover half of the top with tinfoil and position it inside.

ive not heard of putting tin foil over the bucket. maybe ill do that too if its recommended?

It looks like you are taking lots of benzos and sleeping tablets this will slow your breathing down and might make you fail. How true that statement is i really dont know.

Someone here drifted off listening to music. also dont forget notes and any warning signs around the tend if thats needed

i assume you are in the uk too?

also what are you in limbo over? legal issues, family, health or money?

Nice. I got a chimney starter that fits 1,8-2,2kg I might get a bigger one though. Yeah I'd have to get a TPI 707 off of eBay for example.

Also I know you have tried CTB by CO before, is it completely off the table for you now?

Thank you. Yeah important step. Are you by any chance considering this method?

I read it on the MegaThread that it helps to prevent upwards heat, although I suppose it also slows the CO distribution so idk 🤷🏾‍♂️

Sure it could slow down the breathing but I'll probably be hyperventilating anyways so maybe they cancel each other out.

No music for me. Is notes necessary I really don't have anything to say. I should probably make a warning sign.

No I'm not from the UK, but close.

It's hard to describe it feels I'm neither dead nor alive. I was about to have an awakening but I pulled out at last moment by going to the psych ward which f'd my life up.

Haha yes, i tried to create CO but my source of information was Google so I blew up the plan and almost put the room on fire. My landlord was kind enough to not shout at me for turning the walls and ceiling and the bathroom to black from white 😂 i miss them.

After COVID, i moved to my parent's home, so I'm here since 2020, i tried a similar CO method in my small bathroom here. It failed too. The bathroom turned black. Luckily, I was prepared to deal with it in this attempt, so before my parents could find out, I managed the fire and the smoke.

Now that I understand CO method properly, I can't do it at home, because we don't have a barbecue grill so if I get 2-4 kg of charcoal, they'll ask me why. I had bought a camp fire product last to last month when i was living away from my family, my father visited me and seized it.
I was thinking of gas heater, but I couldn't find a gas heater that could produce enough CO to CTB in a small bathroom. I could have implemented that in month of December last week, when it's super cold. However, i already have an electric heater which is in good condition, so I'll be questioned why do i need a gas heater when i already have a heater.

So, if i have to CTB now, i have shifted to SN method. If for any reason, I can't ctb using SN method, CO is still on my second priority.

And I'm going to ctb in this life, that's for sure. The only question is when?

I have procured SN so I can CTB anytime until my SN gets found by my parents and gets seized.

My bad phase is over at this point of time, so I have no valid reason left to CTB, like I have moved on from my breakup trauma after 3 fckn years. I'm no longer depressed. Life is good at the moment. So, I wish to live and enjoy my good days for now, before my bad days pay me a visit again after their vacation 😂 looking forward to live for a few more weeks. Let's see how things go.

Why I chose SN method last month? because I read an article about a murder case in India where murderer killed 11+ people using SN and then upon being caught by police, he himself CTB'd using SN. At that point, I realised that my method to CTB was just hidden in plain sight for all these years. If only I knew this info 3 years ago at the time of my breakup, I could have gone by now and saved myself from the 3 years long traumatic phase.

I don't know, bro, too much planning, honestly. I think it's more cost-effective to just grab a rope and hang yourself in a remote forest, I saw it in a suic1de manual; it's the most effective method but it's just one of the most painful

Good to hear things are going alright. I also bought SN too, there's no way I'm using it though. Wanted to contact the seller to see if I could cancel my order, but I never did. Hope the police don't pay me a visit, could screw up the whole thing…

There's no way I'm hanging myself, not in a million years. I'd rather go trough the planning and spend that money. I doubt I can even do this tbh…

Yeah.. actually..
When i also heard of SN method and I read about it, I used to be like, I'm not drinking that shit at any cost. I have even posted a comment here some time ago, that I'll never do SN method. Haha. And now I'm relying on it after reading that article. I'm ok with taste, and headache and racing heart and churning in the stomach, if it can give me freedom finally.

Hanging even I'll never do 😂 i know I'll get strangulated plus, my corpse will look so repulsive to my ppl. Such corpses look horrible. I don't wanna give my ppl more trauma than the pain of loss.

Sorry if i misunderstood, but it seemed like you are planning to burn the charcoal for 45 minutes in the chimney starter and then take it into the tent soon after. The chimney starter manual i read said it takes 20-30 mins. You want the charcoal at the top to be burning, but i think 45 mins might be too long.

Zanexx said on their first attempt that there was still some flames when they tipped it out into the metal bucket. The key thing to note is Zanexx then waited 90 mins after that before taking it into the tent, to allow the charcoal to cool down.

A few attempts have failed probably due to not allowing the charcoal to cool down long enough. See this post from Zanexx's thread about the importance of not rushing the process https://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/leaving-tonight.3163/post-44048

There's no way you will be able to pull this off. Long plans almost never work. I hope the best for you though.

Yes, I've seen a few people here CTB using this particular tent. Are you familiar with Zanexx thread?

Yes I have read a bit about it.

Yes that was the idea. It might be too long. I'm no longer thinking about doing it in a tent though. Yeah you probably don't want them too hot.

We'll see. Thank you.

If the concentration is high enough and the space is sealed very well, then it's virtually guaranteed. 🤷‍♂️

Update: I will be using my small kitchen instead of a tent, since I'm afraid it might catch on fire. The kitchen has a constant exhaust, but I think it's off for some reason since there's no noise and I can't feel any air moving when I put my hand near it. I will be taping a plastic bag over the opening.
