Dana, your post brings back such vivid memories of the time when I began to contemplate my fade.  I can relate quite well to your post.  My coping mechanism(s) were:
1) Bring my iPhone to the meetings and take long bathroom breaks where I'd check my email or send some texts to non-JW friends.
2) I'd day-dream during meetings or find something to think about, all the while shuffling the pages or pretend to be going along with the readings. 
3) Sometimes I'd just stay home and tell my ex-husband I wasn't feeling well, and that was the honest truth.  The though of going to another meeting was oftentimes too much for me to take emotionally and I, too, couldn't physically stomach going to another meeting.  
The hardest part, for me, was walking away from and leaving 'friends' whom I knew I would never see or hear from again.  I literally broke down at that part of it.  But, gradually I came to accept the fact that they were never really my true friends unless I believed exactly as they did, and they would never tolerate any deviation in thoughts.  It's been a loooooong journey for me, but I'm finally on the upswing.  
Maybe some of those suggestions will help.  Perhaps you can count down the weeks until your freedom?  Set some weekly goals that will help the time pass more quickly and help you focus on something else? 
Good luck to you!!!  (((Hugs)))
