Bottom Lines |
1. I will not attempt suicide - I will call a group member before
acting on a suicidal impulse.
2. I will not "stockpile" drugs, weapons, ropes, or other tools
for suicide - I will call a group member if I feel the need to
do so.
3. I will not allow myself to fantasize about the relief I believe
suicide will give me - I will call for support.
4. I will call for support if I find myself starting to make a plan.
5. I will call for support if I begin to feel trapped, angry, or
afraid.
