I'm with newbie on this one folks....a lot of people here have enough problems without trying to figure out what will or will not happen to them if they don't sent a chain letter to 10 other people..... all they want is to feel welcomed and get some help... Chain letters are not helping them...

Thank you for understanding Happy Drunk.

I agree with you too Happy. I dont like to receive chain letters either.

Hey do what I do with them.... I do not even open them....check and delete... works for me... If I am going to have bad luck because of it so be it.... better than no luck at all..

i absolutely agree.i barely know the computer as it is and right now,as we speak, i am going through the roughest of days.my sister has to have surgery- lump in her breast,my daughter (my mother and sister decided not to tell me until the last second) that my daughter will be with her father-the reason i was in a battered woman's shelter for 1 year-at a psychologists office today of his choosing. as people may know he also is a sexual deviant who has a ton of money and wants my child.everything seems to be going his way so far-crimes committed more than 5 years ago can't be put into evidence and my roommate whose nose blew up like w.c.fields did not go to work today-the better to torment me. also, my sponsor is still in critical care.i am at the end of my tether. my depression has gotten to the point i really should be in a hospital. i am sure you know depression kills too. but i will be a g-d sober corpse. i cannot have just one day of peace and serenity and i tell you what-reincarnation must be true because i must have been a nazi concentration camp guard in a previous life. if where i am isn't hell, i can't even fathom what hell is. before, any comments about pity pots and the like-f-u. i have a right to feel exactly as i feel and i feel
like shit.i feel so bad i can't even get angry- i am sober and i feel hopeless. those chain letters certainly have a nice thought but today i am in crisis mode and i mean crisis. devonh

I agree with all who want to dump the cahin letter thingy in the river. Hey if you get one just forward it back to the person who sent it about 40 times and load up there mail box. After a while they wont send them on. we can easily get caught up in the what ifs and what nots especially early in sobriety. dont believe these things because they are just garbage and folk lore written by some bored ass person in no wheres ville and they enjoy jamming up peoples emails.

I agree. We dont need them. I delete them :) they are not my cup of tea... I have some freinds who send them who genuinely mean well but if I delete them and never send them out or back to the person im sure they will take the hint........ i hope :)

Chains aren't good in any way shape or form in my book.

I agree NOT good, im only just newly sober and getting used to voicing my opinion so maybe I didnt come over strongly enough....but i mean they are NOT good things and we dont need them

well... i will tell you something about these so called chain letters... when i receive anything now that is a fwd: msg from *insert name here*, from *insert name here*, from *insert name here*... i automatically delete it now. And for those that say if i don't send it on or something bad will happen... umm... yeah... nothing ever has....

I absolutly hate those things..i sent out letters to my friends not to send them to me but they are starting to come back around..they are not alllowed in this site because they jam up the site..i just delete them..so if you are sending them to me, who ever reads this..please stop...thanks newbee for the post...

thanks newbee you the woman

Lol... I don't like chain letters either. It's like those stupid myspace bulletins. Pass this on or u will have bad luck for the rest of ur life... Gay...

moving on up

chain letters are bs. People just do it for something to do i guess.
