Lucky you.

I don't have one near me, so I just receive their daily e-mails.

I would think you can just start, the sooner the better.

Mirandac should be on later and she's much more knowledgeable about that.

I hope they can help ease your suffering a bit. I know the daily e-mails help me stay centered.

I have not gone to any but heard great things about it. I know 2 people who went mid-term and then when it started again, took those classes. Good luck

They dont care when you start. I went many times.
Its just the progression of the topics, its in 13 week
Sessions.

It is a great program, sometimes there are breaks in
between and different facilitators. HUGS

Awesome! The one I want to go to meets tonight. I was hesitant because I thought everyone would have already moved way ahead of me.

I didn't go to these but heard great things about them. Hope they help you find some peace and understanding

I believe in God but do not attend church. It was a bit too much for me with so many answers to problems being "Give it to God." I get that and some people find comfort with it, but I needed more realistic solutions. I started on the 4th one and attended twice. I may try again but it was also on a difficult night for me to attend.

I am spiritual not religious but the program
Is about learning how to grieve and be With
others going thru the divorce process.

The Problems and issues were the same for
the Religious people, infidelity was the core
reason for Many divorces, some abuse and
Some addictions.

I did not feel judged about my life just because
I was not religious. Actually it was very good
For me in so many ways i can not even begin
To count them.

Most groups are different too, different facilitators
And different people attending. We even had
One agnostic attend, some not legally married
only Living together. It helps to just move past
The religious aspect and go for the healing and
People part. HUGS

I agree with that. I also don't seem to click with the nice gentleman that is our table leader (you are put into table groups and there is a "leader" at each one along with the main leader for the large group). He seemed a bit put off that I didn't attend the church. I think starting again when it is fresh might help since some groups seem very cohesive while our's doesn't. Only me and one other woman were there from one week to the next when I went and we were missing 3 other women. I know everyone has busy lives but I would like to find a group that has the same people from one session to the next. Just my two cents for now.

I had so much divorce rage and anger i
Thought i was going to blow up. I thank
That program for saving my sanity and
Handling the divorce better. I was close
To the edge and they brought me back.

I can still slip into rage and i know how
To combat it. Its with forgiveness for myself
And for him. He does not need to know.

I even had compassion on the day of the
Divorce when he looked like the guilty
Party. My thoughts were he was a child
Of God too.

Not saying i am all better but it helped
Me thru the whole process coming out
Still sane. I have never had rage, divorce
Rage is one of the strongest rages. I would
roar at the thoughts of forgiveness. HUGS

The one I am going to only has about 10 people in it, I did not like it the first time but have grown to like it. I enjoyed it more when I could see past my problems and feel empathy for everyone there. It is at the church I attend, so we do talk about our relationships with God, but I don't think it would be considered too much for someone that is not religious. I got there about 20 minutes early last time after a particularly hard week and the leader was there and spoke with and prayed over me and I went home feeling so much better.

It does take some adjusting if you are
Not religious. It helps to see it as a help
session on grieving and moving thru the
Process.

I even announced a few times i Was not
religious. That helped me feel Any less
pressured. I never saw them try To convert
anyone, most of the baptist Went to other
churches. We were a mix Of religions, i am
a lapsed catholic. HUGS
