I'm just gonna take a stab in the dark here:
Are you talking about the SR newsletter? You should have received several of those by now.
There were several threads about it - including this one.
http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...ding-week.html
I'm sorry if thats the problem and you missed all the discussion.
You can unsubscribe at any time.
If it's something else, I can't help you any more than I already have by forwarding your first thread onto admin and the owners.
Do you understand that? Noone pays me anything.
I don't deserve to be abused.
I understand you are upset over something but what you cannot do is break the rules of this forum.
Keep things civil, OK?

Sign up for a free dummy account, change your SR account e-mail to it. Problem solved. When you get PMs and what not, those notifications will go to your ***** account, not your standard AOL account.

If anyone is receiving any kind of email communication from SR and does not want to, click 'unsubscribe from all'.
I've personally asked the owners to weigh in on this, but it's 1.31 in the morning on the west coast..

Hello,
If you do not wish to receive the monthly newsletter, please unsubscribe from it by clicking "unsubscribe" at the bottom of the newsletter. This will permanently remove your email from the list so you never receive it again.
If you are concerned about email notifications from the forum, you can manage your email preferences in your profile.
Those are the only types of email contact SR currently sends. If you have questions about this, please give us more detail on the nature of the email that you received and we can try to help you.
Thanks,
Emily430, Community Manager

I generally try to avoid any type of confrontation or involvement in disputes or issues that do not personally affect me, but I feel the need to speak up this time.
First and foremost I wish to speak up in support of the mods and the administrators or the forum. Without this place to turn to so many of us, myself included, would be much worse off. Thank you Anna, Dee and the community greeters, administrators and numerous members who volunteer their time to keep this place running smoothly.
One thing we all learn in recovery is personal responsibility. I sympathize completely with you exwell66. This recovery sh*t is hard enough on it's own without having to deal with family and privacy issues in the mix. That said, it is als pretty common for websites where one must register to send out emails or notifications. It is also common that the user is responsible for navigating the various options in the back office in terms of what sort of notifications one would like and would expect to receive or not receive.
Again, and this in sincere, I am so sorry that your lack of managing these options resulted in a tense and unwanted situation for you. Truly, I am sorry. But as not only recovering addicts, but also as adult members of society, we must take responsibility for our own actions, even those that result in undesirable outcomes. To blame others would be irresponsible and frankly, downright wrong.
I hope you are able to overcome this difficult and uncomfortable situation. You didn't ask for advice on how to handle it, so I won't offer it, however, I am sure there are members here who have ben in a similar situation and would advise you honestly, earnestly and fairly should you decide to ask.

Mera, excellent post! Although I understand that the OP was upset, anytime we use the Internet we are risking our information being compromised. I agree with previous poster about setting up a separate email account if that will make someone feel better. For me, the many, many benefits of SR far exceed the possible risks. I also think that the mods do an amazing job.
In addition, I also believe that it's high time to work on the issue of stigma and addiction. I do understand that job situations can be challenging but I doubt that anyone in active addiction can fool everyone.

there were notices WELL in advance of the newsletter on EVERY forum here, along with instructions on how to NOT receive them. it isn't a conspiracy and it is easy to UNSUBSCRIBE. if you are worried about what might show up on WORK email don't use work email for anything besides work. it's really that simple.

Nothing more to add other than to thank all of the mods, administrators, community greeters and all others who make this community possible.
You do a great job!
I do have to say that it seems pretty logical that if you don't want certain emails showing up in private or secure accounts, don't tie that address to your account. Set up a separate email account somewhere else... A dummy account like Troy said, problem solved.
Thanks again to all of the mods.

I too want to express my appreciation to all the Moderators, Administrators, etc.
They have a a difficult, and I am sure, sometimes very trying job.
Thank you Dee and Anna for always being there for all of us.
SR has made such a difference in my life, and I am truly sorry if is not the " right fit" for some. We all want to succeed, but the devil is in the details...
Hopefully, for those struggling, the right avenue to recovery will be discovered soon.
