What is an Email Loop?
An email "loop" is a group of people who send email to each other on a particular discussion topic. When you join the loop, you receive email messages from everyone else in the loop, and when you reply to a loop message, your email message goes out to everyone else in the loop too. The Recovery Group has many email loops centered around recovery from compulsive eating and eating disorders. Some of the loops center just on the recovery topic, while others include a secondary topic, such as "Recovery and Pregnancy" for pregnant women who are working on food issues, or "Recovery and Alcoholics Anonymous" for people who are trying to recover from both food and alcohol problems. Some loops are very large and very active, with a great deal of email every day. Others are very small and intimate with much less email. If you try one loop and it doesn't work for you, keep trying! We each have our own special needs, and most of us eventually find the loop that works best to help us with our particular recovery needs.
