I think FH can be like any other hobby and if you want to stop you do, in so far as other people sending you things and asking you to do the verifying you can show them how to verify these things for themselves and tell them you are no longer interested in FH.
I started FH by accident really, my Dad died when I was 17 yrs old, his mother died when he was 4yrs old and he always said he never knew her name......at that time I didn't realise I could just look on his birth certificate ( even if my mother had have given it to me, which she didn't) so I started out running around in circles trying to work out how to find out until some years later a friend took me under her wing and taught me the basics of FH research...so from just wanting to find out my grandmothers name for my dad even if it was too late for me to tell him I got well and truely hooked regardless of no one in my family wanting to give me any information or help me in anyway.
