Im not gonna advise for or against, hell up until a few weeks ago i said i wanted to be sover when i ctb. But i couldnt do it. Dont know if it was survival instinct kicking in or i just couldnt commit at the time but it didnt work. I played around for a few hours with ligature strangulation and when ever i felt close to passing out i would stand or do somthing to release the pressure. Kinda gives you a head rush like NO, but point is i couldnt do it...
Ive now moved away from that method to SN and i know i cant do this sober, though alcohol isnt my go to this time, benzos and small amount of opiates, if i do this i want to do it right and reduce the chances of throwing up. Dont want to wake up hours later covered in vomit and mentally shattered with the worse hangover of my life.
