Hi gang,
Now that my new book, The Divorce Remedy, is in many of the book stores and at amazon, several people have asked about when I would be starting the book club. I'd like to start it next week. This will give those of you who would like to participate a chance to order the book.

To join the book club, it is necessary to read the book because I will be responding to questions about how to apply the principles, techniques and strategies in the book to particular situations. I will also discuss or elaborate further on ideas in the book if people have more indepth questions. Isn't the internet great?

Let me know too which of the sections of the book you find more helpful than others. I always like to know more about what works.

If you'd like to participate but haven't yet read the book, you can get it at one of your local bookstores or order it through amazon.com. This link will get you there! So read, enjoy and discuss with each other and me.

Hi Michele,

Let me be the first to say I'm pleased to see this forum and looking forward to your input. I have read DB, Changing Your Man, and Fire Your Shrink and have requested The Divorce Remedy from the library so hopefully will be the first reader when they get it. I've been posting for a while and re-reading DB (and read a ton of other books too.)and nothing has happened at all. I hope the new book (I liked the first chapter.)will finally work to get my boyfriend back.

I just received the book in the mail from Amazon yesterday. I have read several chapters and am most impressed. I want to be in the club! I am divorced, but there have been breakthroughs, and I have been posting here off and on for awhile and have received much support. I have not given up hope for reconcilliation, and will use all I learn here to continue on my journey> I know this book is geared towards those who are not yet divorced, but I am confident there are skills here for everyone, no matter where you are in the relationship!! Michelle, the book is great!!

Monterrey,
I, too, hope you find some information in my new book that will get your relationship back on track.

DB,
Thanks for the thoughtful comment and kind feedback. Yes, you're right the principles certainly will apply to you in your situation, no doubt about it. Can't wait to hear more about what you're learning!

to Michele thanks for taking into consideration the suggestion I previously had posted in this spot.

Suggetion to DBers- after you read Divorce Remedy- go to Amazon.com to add your review. When books are recommended to me, I go to that site to look at the reader reviews to get more info and determine if I want to buy the book. I think our reviews will encourage some to at least try DBing before they give up.

My book arrived at my door yesterday via amazon!! I am going to start reading it tonight and hopefully will be done by the time the book club starts. I have four months left until my D is final - but I do have to say things have moved in a more positive direction as a result of the DB principles. Don't know if its enough to save my marriage, but at least I'm taking care of myself and will know I did the best I could to try and save it. Michele, your work is such a great support to all of us - don't know what I'd do without it. Can't wait to start reading.

Hi Michele,
Looking forward to the book club. Your advise has been so helpful. Even though my d is quickly approaching, finalized within the next couple of months, your book and this board has been such help. This separation has been the best and worst time in my life. The worst for obvious reasons, and the best because I now know me again and have made changes that are helping me in all areas of my life. Ok, so far, not in my marriage, but who knows what the future holds.

Thanks for all your great work.

Thanks all,
It is so important to feel good about yourself. And you get there a number of ways. One is to do everything humanly possible to fight smart for your marriage. The book can help you do that. Then, no matter what happens with your marriage, to be the best person you can possibly be for yourself, your kids and family and friends. You folks are so great. You should be very proud of your strength throughout this time. I know I am.

Thanks for your kind feedback.
Michele

Michele,
I have ordered the book and hope to have it today or tomarrow. I have read DB several times and keep finding new things. I am looking forward to this. Even though my D is moving forward, I see many possitve changes in the R between my wife and I. I believe she is really starting to wonder if this is truely what she wants. Time will tell and even if the D happens, I am optomistic about my future with her because of the self analysis I am doing and changes for me. It certainly changes our steps in a positive way.

I would like to be in the club as well.
Thanks,
Tracy

Just got your book a couple of days ago. I'm enjoying it so far and can't wait to finish it up. Would love to join your book club. We learn something new every day.

I ordered your book from amazon yesterday and received notification that it was shipped today. I'm looking forward to it, even though I may be filing for divorce on Tuesday. My H says he wants D and doesn't love me any more, but refuses to leave the house. I'm trying to pry him out of the house to give us both space and hopefully make him see how much he's lost when he's no longer living at home.

I don't have much hope for saving my marriage at th is point, but perhaps your new book will give me the hope I'm looking for.

I want to be a mamber of the book club. Thanks for your books and this bb.

Hi Michele,<P>I've picked up Divorce Remedy a couple days ago and am just about finished with it. I can't apply step three because W really doesn't want to do anything for me or OR right now. My questions is about the example couple you used in Ch. 5, p 99, Garth and Lena. I'm pretty much in the same boat as them, W wonders if she would miss me. In their case should Garth have let her move out? In my case I would be the one who would have to leave.

I've done the 180 and she's noticed. Is it better to stay under the same roof and try to apply your techniques?<P>Thanks,<BR>-r<p>[This message has been edited by reachingout (edited 09-01-2001).]

I love the book so far. I am at the point were I need to start writing my goals down. It is hard to write these goals down as I asked my husband to move out and he did. Now I am questioning that decision.
I guess my first question would be as to whether I should suggest to my husband to read this book? Is it even woth it as he is not living in the house anymore?

Thanks Michele.

Starting next week I will open a new thread for everyone to post questions. I will also lay out some of the guidelines for discussion. All you need to do to participate is read the book. That's it!

Read the book in one night. Re-reading it again.Still trying to hang in there but having some extreme lows right now. Both books have given me hope that it's not over till I say it's over.

Michelle,

I received your new book last night and have read the 1st and 2nd chapters. What a wonderful and inspirational read! I cannot wait to get home to finish it!! I have been searching for a new therapist- one that practices SBT. I found a woman in the area, who isn't familar w/your work, but is most interested in learning about it. My 1st therapy session will be spent going over the book to see if she can help. I'm going to continue working w/Arnold also.

Thank you for writing these books and giving us some hope.

Michelle,

I've been reading the book as well. The section that I need the most help on right now is the infidelity section. H is having a hard time talking about it. He is dealing with what he did right now and can't help me at the moment.

The pain is go horrible!!! I am looking forward to joining the club as well.

Do you have any other documentation or books, or ones you recommend that deal with infidelity?

Solost.

Well this is it, the book should arrive tomorrow from Chapters Indigo Canada, and I've decided to read it from cover to cover and give this one last hurrah.
I'm not sure I can save my marriage. I'm tired of trying, but at least I'll be able say with a good conscience that I've tried everything.
Thanks Michele for a wonderful site and forums.

I read the book After the Affair by Janis Spring and also Surviving an Affair by Hurley. Both helped me some. I just learned of his affair on August 27, so I'm also dealing with the pain, etc. now. I'm trying to be positive and upbeat but, as you know, it's the most difficult thing I've ever had to do.
