  1. Yes. The idea is to find some who have already returned and had their full blessings restored to help the guys who are still working on repentance to stay the course when times get tough.
  2. Yes. We're already in a group, but I'm specifically looking for support for other excommunicants, not just addiction recovery.
  3. This is actually the wife of the one excommunicated. I'm looking for support for him and a separate group for the wives of excommunicants. I had no idea how difficult this would be. ?
  4. Yes. That's what I have done. I made an anonymous post on Facebook in the largest lds group I could find on there and have had some responses, so now I'm trying to figure out what platform to use to connect and communicate. Maybe Skype, I don't know. I thought about telegram but there's no anonymity if people want to remain anonymous.
  5. It's not intended to focus on the sin, but on the repentance. You have no idea how difficult it is to endure this unless you've been through it yourself. You feel extreme shame and humiliation. You feel like you are completely alone. It is very painful. I think it would be very valuable for guys who have the desire to return to the fold to have other guys who have been there to help lift each other when times get tough. This is the hardest thing we've ever endured and probably will ever endure. The worst thing that can happen is for guys to feel so much shame that they give up and quit going because they feel alone. They listen to all the lies Satan tells them that they made a mistake to tell the bishop. That this will never be healed. That the shame will never go away. They no longer have the gift of the holy ghost. They no longer have the priesthood. They feel so alone. I know having some connection with guys who know this pain could really help my husband know he's not alone. We are in an addiction recovery group, but no one in his group has been through excommunication. So they can't fully understand what he's going through. The group is great, but I know having a few people that can fully understand his pain and the process he's going through could really benefit him, and I'm sure other guys in the same situation would benefit too.
  6. Hi there. I'm wanting to try to connect my husband with some lds guys who have been excommunicated for adultery so they can support each other through the repentance process. I'd love to find some who have already been fully restored, as well as others who are still working through the process. I'd also like to connect the wives in a separate group if they are sticking by their husbands to be able to support each other. I don't want to use Facebook because it's not private enough. Would this be a place where we could create some kind of support group like this? Or does anyone have any other ideas? Would you or anyone you know be interested in joining?
  7. Look for a lifestar group in your area! The group therapy will be what saves you. I commend you for admitting you have a problem. Take care of it now before it ruins your life and marriage.
