    Hi and welcome

    This board really helped me, Were doing the fade too.

    Ive visited a lot of sites, some were really good helped me with a lot of research. But this is the site I visit everyday, sometimes I dont post, just read.

    I dont think I would have stayed sane without this site, so thanks everyone!!!!!!1

    So stick around and ill look out for your posts

    Welcome,

    Always good to have new folks here. A long slow fade is good. It does not offer the clear freedom that disfellowshipping or disassocation offers, but it is good. Moving out of the area where you people know you is even better to fade out in. I know many who are successfully fading when they moved away from family.

    I went about it the hard way and just got myself disfellowshipped, but didn't have family who would shun me except a nephew in another state.

    Hope you find many friends here and support.

    Welcome

    Me and my husband are doing the "fade" as well, been a little over a year. It can be pretty exhausting, this fading process...But you have to do what you have to do. (right?)

    I have found this board quite therapeutic as well....knowing I am not "alone" in the way I feel.

    Looking forward to more of your posts!
