Networking Page" on the subject line, and indicate which information you want listed and how, otherwise we cannot tell which messages are sent in private and which are from people who want their information published here.

The spouse of a workaholic writes:

I lost my husband of 8 years to workaholism. For most of those 8-years I tried to figure out what was wrong with me! The lifestyle choices (what life) of a workaholic impacts everyone around them and leaves invisible little cuts that fester. While we are apart now - the pain lingers and the questions remain. I had no idea what I was dealing with until it was too late. It is an invisible addiction that is socially supported and often rewarded.

I would be interested in a group in North Vancouver. BC. I could host or join and existing group for spouses.

Webmaster's Note: This spouse has moved on with her life but others may wish to seek help at For Friends and Family

Meetings Catalysts

Meeting Catalysts

(A catalyst is something that promotes an action but is not used up in the process.) Other people may call or have called from your area seeking a meeting. Since no meeting is listed near you, you may wish to be listed in the "MEETING CATALYST" category. With your permission, your first name and telephone number will be listed on our website and will be given to other callers from your area. You and they may wish to form a new W.A. meeting in the future. In that event we can supply Meeting Starter Kits at a small charge (let us know if you want one). Please fill out the Meeting Catalyst Form and return it to W.A. World Service if you want to become a Meeting Catalyst.
