Underearners Anonymous
Underearners Anonymous, often abbreviated “UA”, is a twelve-step program for men and women who have come together to overcome what they call "underearning". The underlying premise of Underearners Anonymous is that underearning is a kind of mental disorder, rather like the alcoholic’s self-destructive compulsion to drink to excess.
Indeed, members of UA sometimes refer to themselves as “time drunks”, because they have a propensity to fritter away their time in useless activities, rather than pursuing constructive goals. This parallel with alcoholism has led the fellowship to appropriate much of the apparatus of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), including the Twelve Steps, regular meetings to share their “experience, strength, and hope,” and sponsorship. UA suggests studying AA literature to gain a better understanding of addictive diseases. Specifically, UA endorses the use of the ''Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions'' and ''Alcoholics Anonymous'' (also known as the "Big Book").
UA uses additional tools, such as keeping written records of how one spends one’s time, “possession consciousness” (the disposal of “what no longer serves us”), and the avoidance of “debting” (unsecured borrowing). They also advocate "action meetings" in which members peer-counsel others about earning related issues, and "action partnerships" in which members encourage each other to complete earning related tasks.
==Success==
The Effectiveness of Alcoholics Anonymous article of this encyclopedia notes the difficulty in rigorously testing the effectiveness of AA. Given the more subjective nature of underearning, as opposed to alcoholism, the effectiveness of UA is probably even harder to rigorously investigate. Nevertheless, some compelling anecdotal evidence of success, at least in certain instances, have been reported.
