Anybody with a desire to stop working compulsively is welcome at a WA meeting. Unmanageability can include compulsive work in housework, hobbies, fitness, or volunteering as well as in paid work.

  • Anonyme Arbeitssüchtige (AAS, Eng.: Workaholics Anonymous) sind Selbsthilfegruppen für Menschen, die arbeitssüchtig (Workaholics) sind. Das Zwölf-Schritte-Programm der AAS entstand in Anlehnung an das Programm der Anonymen Alkoholiker. 1983 wurde die erste Selbsthilfegruppe für Arbeitssüchtige als Workaholics Anonymous in New York City gegründet. In Deutschland existieren die Anonymen ArbeitsSüchtigen (AAS) bereits seit 1986,im Jahr 2017 gab es 15 Meetings in Deutschland und 5 Meetings in Österreich, außerdem verschiedene Telefonmeetings. Laut der Präambel von AAS ist die einzige Voraussetzung für die Teilnahme an der Gruppe der Wunsch, mit zwanghaftem Arbeiten oder auch Nicht-Arbeiten aufzuhören. AAS erhebt keine Mitgliedsbeiträge, sie erhält sich durch eigene Spenden. Höchstes Gebot ist Anonymität, die Mitglieder müssen ihre Identität nicht offenlegen, Teilnahmelisten oder Mitgliederkarteien gibt es nicht. Auf den regelmäßigen Meetings haben die Betroffenen die Möglichkeit, über ihre Anliegen zu reden, wobei es keine Vorschriften bezüglich der Themen gibt. Niemand muss etwas sagen. An den Treffen nehmen nur Betroffene teil und keine Psychologen. (de)

Anyone with a problematic relationship with work is welcomed. Workaholics Anonymous is considered an effective program for those who need its help. In 1983, one of the first formal efforts to create a fellowship around work addiction recovery began in New York when a corporate financial planner and a school teacher met. They formed Workaholics Anonymous to stop working compulsively themselves and to help others who suffered from the disease of workaholism. In their first meetings, spouses joined them and in retrospect were the first Work-Anon group, seeking recovery for family and friends of workaholics. Workaholics Anonymous is an international fellowship of over fifty in-person, phone, and online meetings with over an estimated thousand active members. WA's World Service Office has a Menlo Park central address. WA has developed its own literature, most notably the Workaholics Anonymous Book of Recovery, but also uses the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) books Alcoholics Anonymous and Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions.
