Yes, you can give yourself first aid if you're choking alone.

Save this post so you remember these steps:
 
1. Call 911, even if you can't speak.
2. Give yourself abdominal thrusts right above your navel, with one hand over your fist.
3. Or, thrust your abdomen against a firm object. Avoid objects with sharp edges that can hurt you.
