============================
The Definition of Workaholism
A
workaholic works or keeps busy with activity compulsively and leaves
little or no time to be alone and quiet. Therefore, we usually don't know
who we are and what we really feel and want. Work and activity are the
primary focuses in our lives, often excluding others.
We
workaholics usually don't respect time, underestimating how much time it
will take to do something, or trying to do several things at once. Because
we have an overwhelming need to be active and productive, we enjoy seeing
how much we can do in the least amount of time. It makes us feel
worthwhile and alive. Work is our drug of choice.
Not realizing how
powerless we really are, we seek to control all phases of our lives. We
take responsibility for the outcome of our work and worry about how it
will make us look. We try to control people, and if we could, the outcome
of everything. We usually have little faith in the ability of others, of
Higher Power, or of universal wisdom.
After years of this,
naturally, our health begins to fail from stress, exhaustion, and related
problems. We may find ourselves alone and isolated, having not bothered to
form meaningful relationships. Our love was for work, activity, and
perhaps money, which we believed would solve our problems.
About us - Workaholics Anonymous

only requirement for attendance is the desire to stop working
compulsively. There are no dues or fees for WA membership; we are
self-supporting through our own contributions. WA is not allied with any
sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish
to engage in any controversy; neither endorses not opposes any causes. Our
primary purpose is to stop working compulsively and to carry the message
of recovery to workaholics who still suffer. More information on
