Playwright James Graham has told Desert Island Discs how he turned to Workaholics Anonymous for help after realising work addiction had become a problem for him. I joined a support group session to hear how it has affected other people’s lives.
“I feel emotional and ashamed,” one woman says, describing how she had spent the evening struggling against the urge to meet “a self-imposed deadline” after putting her young son to bed.
She was speaking to fellow members of Workaholics Anonymous, a free recovery programme for work addicts modelled on Alcoholics Anonymous.

Another woman tells the group she realised she had a problem while sitting at the dinner table with her partner’s family, talking compulsively about her job in an attempt to hide her insecurities.
“Afterwards I was so embarrassed,” she says. “I lived in fear that people would find out I’m a fraud.”
The woman says her life has become “so small” because all she can think about is work.
They are among a group of 20 people joining the weekly meeting of Workaholics Anonymous on Zoom, bringing together people from across the UK and even those in different time zones. The BBC was invited to join the meeting with the agreement of all the members of the group.
