No. Quite simply whether you broke them all or not you cannot avoid hell without turning to Christ.

I admire your simplicity and sincerity! Self-knowledge is a pre-requisite to conversion. I would like to ask you this question, "Do you repent of the disobedience which you admitted in your life? If you have done almost everything of what is not supposed to be done, what is your next step which is best for you as you continue to live your life fully? If you do not seek to go to Christ or his representatives here on earth (priests, bishops...) to whom will you go...? Do not fear! Even you have committed many wrongdoings in your life if you really repent and promise not to do them again and confess/tell your wrongdoings (sins) to the priest, then you can be sure that you'll then be at peace. Please try and I'll be praying for you. There are several sinners who became saints, (St. Augustine, St. Paul, the apostle, etc.)

Best way to avoid going to hell? Don't believe in it!
Hell is a Christian concept, and as an ex-Christian I always found it was one of the central tenets that did not sit well with me. As a Pagan I believe in reincarnation where we have lessons to learn in this lifetime and others to learn in the next one. So, no hell.
Hope that helps

If you are choosing to not follow God... why do you even care about your consequence of disobeying the 10 commandments.

Not IN my belief. What is so bad about considering being a Christian? I assume that you realize that those actions did not bring happiness and you are searching for a better life with a chance of avoiding hell.
You can do that though Jesus, and you can still be wild and have fun! (Maybe not AS wild, but you will not have the regrets either).
Call a Priest, and find our when the next RCIA Class is starting, you can learn all about the Catholic Faith, and if it is not for you there is no compulsion to join, the classes last about 9 months, and you are free to quit if you wish.
Good Luck and God Bless!

Well done, love. That takes some level of dedication and skill!
Don't worry about hell, because if you don't believe in God that doesn't exist either. It's nothing more than something the gullible God botherers believe in so they've got to be good.

I can show you an alternative heaven but you will need to break one of the 10 commandments on a regular basis ;-)

why are you worried about going to hell if you have already disobeyed almost all the commandments? if you even cared you would not be putting yourself in a situation like that.

I am sure that you have not broke every one of the 10 commandments!!!! but the only way to be saved is but believing in God that he will forgive you through Jesus.

If you don't believe in Jesus, there is no point believing in Heaven and Hell, because without Jesus, there would be no Heaven or Hell.
If you do believe in Jesus, you have to believe everything he says, and therefore no, there is no way other than turning to Christ.
