    I didn’t commit suicide.

    I had a plan, had it all laid out, and knew when I was ready.

    Proceeded to get life saving-ly drunk & passed out. Woke up with a knife in my hand the next morning & knew I need to go to the hospital.

    Cleaned myself up, called in sick to work, & went to UCLA Med.

    Still here today thankfully. And as much as I appreciate what bourbon did for me that night, I have slowed my consumption significantly & have my head on straight.

      Depression led me to want to die more than once but my alcohol use almost led to me killing myself accidentally during one of the episodes. The 9mm I had just been holding to my head seconds earlier discharged because I was shitfaced and handling it completely sloppily. I shot the ceiling but luckily nothing else. It scared me sober instantly and I realized how close I came. I got help too and I’m doing better now.

      I’m glad you’re still here.

        Glad to hear you’re doing better! I love firearms, but do not allow myself to own one for that very reason.

        If I owned a firearm, there’s a really good chance I’d either be in jail for stupidity or in the ground at this stage.
