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.


How do I join a Recovery Email Loop?

Before you join an email loop, there are some terms you need to know:

SUBSCRIBE.....Join an email loop

UNSUBSCRIBE.....Get off an email loop

EMAIL MESSAGES.....Receive each email message individually

DIGEST.....Receive all email in one large, daily email message

NO MAIL.....Receive no email temporarily while you are on a trip or vacation

HTML.....Receive email with colored fonts and special formatting, slower to send and receive

NO HTML.....Receive email with plain text only, faster to send and receive

Listed below are the loops for the different topics in the Recovery Group. There are lots of them! Find one that sounds interesting to you, then click on it to go directly to a page where you can join that loop. When you get to the join page, choose either "Individual Email Messages" or "Digest", then hit the "Join" button. Wait a few minutes, then open your email program and check your email. You will receive an email from the loop asking you to confirm your subscription. To confirm, just hit the Reply button, then the Send button to send the confirmation back to them. That's it! Within a day you'll start receiving email from other people on the loop, and you'll be able to email them back just by hitting your reply button. Here are our recovery loops:
