A Manifesto for Workaholics-current and reformed

 Are you a closet workaholic? Do you openly flaunt your workaholism alongside other isms, are you a reformed workaholic or are you a truly enlightened being on the steady road to that sometimes elusive work life balance?

Fear not if you are a workaholic, the answers you are seeking may well lie in here. After a few weeks of coaching people at both ends of the workaholic scale, I have developed a manifesto for workaholics. This is drawn largely on the work of Workaholics Anonymous a serious organisation doing great work across the world based in California.( see www.workaholics-anonymous.org). I have set out my version in full below- there are 12 steps (of course) and a set of principles.I hope something in here resonates. 

Workaholism

12 step programme - affirmations for change for the one time and current workaholic

1. We admit we have been powerless over our compulsive working ,that we have created unmanageable lives.
2. We have come to believe that something greater than ourselves would restore us to sane living.We accept that it is down to us.
