Listen to me carefully.
If you are reading this page, things have gone sideways. The walls are closing in, the heat is too high, and you’re thinking about cashing out early.
Stand down. That is an order.
The Coping Cartel needs its soldiers. We don’t leave men behind, and we don’t let good men make permanent decisions based on temporary bad intel. But right now, this is above our pay grade. You need the heavy hitters.
If you are in immediate danger, or if you are thinking of hurting yourself or someone else, you pick up the phone.

The Boss’s Orders
- Drop the Weapon: Whatever you are holding—a bottle, a pill, a gun, or just a dark thought—put it down. Step away.
- Make the Call: There is no honor in silence when the house is burning down. Calling for backup isn’t weakness; it’s a tactical necessity.
- Wait for the Cavalry: Stay on the line until professional help arrives.
This isn’t the end of your story. It’s just a rough chapter. We need you back at the table, but first, you have to survive the night.
