Key Practices of Work-Anon Brochure Now Online

An electronic copy of the print brochure "Key Practices of Work-Anon" is now available at the following link:

As it suggests in the brochure,
We regain our inner balance through working the Twelve Steps and connecting with other recovering Work-Anons. Through deepening in our recovery, we are released from painful self-defeating patterns, including self-abandonment and neglect, chronic feelings of insufficiency and inadequacy, compulsive perfectionism and rescuing, and trying to please or control others. Our lives in recovery blossom with inner strength, conscious contact, wisdom, detachment, self-valuing, fun, and program friendships. Our interests and energy expand…. Welcome home to Work-Anon.

New "Courage Work-Anon" Email Meeting

UPDATE IN 2018: THE COURAGE WORKANON MEETING IS NOW RE-OPENED.

More recovery for friends and families of workaholics is now available via a new email meeting of Work-Anon. Contact courage.workanon.group AT gmail dot com and briefly qualify (could be two words, that you need it) and you can get added to the distribution list.

Here's what Cila describes about how the meeting will run:
The newborn email meeting of "Courage WorkAnon"

The main thing is: there is a moderator (contact) email address
courage.work.anon.group@gmail.com
and people can join after they qualify (just write 2 words that they need it)

At the beginning it will be a closed meeting only for friends and families of workaholics till the group does not decide other way.

Of course the group works based on the Steps and Traditions - only its form is written.

The letters sent on the list can be read by anyone being on the list: shares can be responded without crosstalk.

Of course members can discuss their own things in private [via one to one emails] just as after face to face meetings.

Shares are treated anonymously: no one forwards them to outside persons only if the sender permits it him/herself for request.

Please feel welcomed to join the "Courage Work-Anon" Email meeting and again thanks to Cila and her HP and program friend for starting this wonderful meeting!
