Can anyone help me with this?

I swear I read, somewhere in the Meditations, Aurelius speaking of suicide
as a Stoic option and comparing it to an "exit from a smoky hut", or words
to that effect.

I read it years ago, and can't find it now.

At 10.8 I've got him saying stuff along those lines, but he's not using that
metaphor.

Any lit ideas?
