Prayers & Passages 

The Preamble

Workaholics Anonymous is a fellowship of individuals who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they may solve their common problems and help others to recover from workaholism. The only requirement for membership 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 nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stop working compulsively and to carry the message of recovery to workaholics who still suffer.

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

Courage to change the things I can, and

Wisdom to know the difference.

3rd Step Prayer

God, I offer myself to Thee, to build with me and do with me as Thou wilt.

Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will.

Take away my difficulties, that victory over them

May bear witness, to those I would help.

Of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life.

May I do Thy will always!

7th Step Prayer

My Creator, I am now willing that you should have all of me good and bad. 

I pray that You now remove from me every single defect of character. 

Which stands in the way of my usefulness to You and my fellows. 

Grant me strength, as I go out from here, to do Your bidding. Amen
