It is not possible to try everything--what even is that? If it was a prerequisite to try EVERYTHING before CTB, then no one could ever kill themselves because it is always possible to do more. Rather than any novel statement about what ought to be considered before going through with suicide, this post betrays a general and dubious sense that people ought to try other things to remedy their problems before seeing CTB as the solution. It's great that substances helped improve your situation but there is little for us to actually take away from that in terms of a lesson.
Frequently the pro-life conception of suicide involves two contradictory components. They understand logically that suicide is a solution to one's problems, yet instinctually understand suicide and suicidal ideation as a problem itself in need of a solution. While it does seem more common in my experience that people view their own suicidality as an antagonizing force rather than exclusively an option to solve their problems, such is not always the case. Especially on a site like SS where most members thoroughly plan their suicides and discourage purely impulsive CTB, suicide should be understood as a solution not inherently inferior or less desirable than any other. People who want help generally seek help insofar as they are able. People who don't, don't. Where you see the permanence of death as a negative and therefore see death as a last resort, others may see it as a positive and as the best solution, and it is not your place to tell them otherwise.
