Hi nikki1000,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities.

It sounds like you want to stop using Messages on your MacBook and we're happy to help! We also see that you've already checked out the Apple Support article Use Messages with your Mac.

"If you don’t want to see messages on your Mac, you can just sign out.

In the Messages app on your Mac, choose Messages > Preferences, click iMessage, then select Settings.
Select Sign Out, then confirm that you want to sign out. When you sign out of iMessage, you no longer receive messages.

Note: To stop receiving messages sent to your phone number, deselect the phone number under “You can be reached for messages at.” See the Apple Support article Add or remove your phone number in Messages or FaceTime."
