Workaholics Anonymous does exist, but it’s mostly used in jokes. “RT @sixthformpoet: The thing about Workaholics Anonymous is that if you have time to come to the meetings, you don’t really have a problem” was posted on Twitter by Alan Spedding on January 7, 2014. This original tweet no longer appears, but “The thing about Workaholics Anonymous is that if you have time to come to the meetings, you don’t really have a problem” was posted on Twitter by sixthformpoet on July 4, 2014.
“The problem with Workaholics Anonymous meetings is they never end” is another Workaholics Anonymous saying.

Headed home from work. I would join workaholics anonymous. But I can’t get time off for meetings.

I’m a member of Workaholics Anonymous - I just don’t have time to go to the meetings.
