How does one CTB when housebound and your family is all around you? How much time do I need for SN to be unrecoverable from?

SN won't work if you are surrounded by your family all the time. The more I think of it, probably nothing would work if you're never alone.

I honestly have to agree with @AnxietyHangover because even if you wait until everyone is asleep you could end up making some kind of noise after being unconscious and alert them to what you're trying to accomplish. If you end up vomiting and making sound doing so that could also raise suspicion or alert someone in your household. It would be best to lie, make up some kind of trip or excuse, and go to a hotel if you can afford it for privacy. Even if you make some noise in a hotel room, no one is going to phone in for a welfare check or security unless you're making a lot of noise.

Let's try and imagine a very optimistic scenario, you somehow inject yourself with a ridiculous dose of fentanyl, you still won't die instantly. Nothing you can do at home will kill you instantly and quietly. It's extremely unlikely you can succeed at home with anything really. I don't want to stir you up, it's just the truth.

How bout a couple hours when they're away? Is that enough time to CTB?

Sorry fairly new here. What is that?
SN is sodium nitrite. There's a resource compilation pinned in this section. That's as far as I will go with this thing, it's on you now.

The process with the sn takes at least an hour, and to ctb can take up to four hours, so five hours is a minimum to be confident in making an attempt, though they don't always work; it can take less time, it varies quite a bit.
