Working Addiction

I am not writing here about hard working people, i am writing about workaholism and a workaholic person.Because then she can actually take a year off and not do anything which she just did.I think beyonce cannnot sleep for a year and just work.Since this is a progressive disease, ultimately the workaholic becomes more driven until he hits bottom.It may take a long time to understand that.After all, if you're working all the time, you aren't going to be in any position to make good use of whatever benefits your success has brought you.Like alcoholism, workaholism can have a detrimental effect on the spouse and children of the workaholic person.Your work performance may be good but your body is going to take a toll.Once workaholism sets in, it progresses through stages similar to those in alcoholism and drug addiction.I think some people, meâ  included, view being a workaholic as impressive or an easy way to say i work very hard but the fact that you are.Most of us, however, do not have schedules or financial situations that allow for that.It's important to distinguish between a workaholic and someone who is simply wrapped up in their work-either because they enjoy it so much, or because, for a while, they have decided to make it a priority in order to win a promotion or get the kind of lifestyle that they want.Match yourself against these indicators.In our everyday life, it is not so easy to recognize and understand a workaholic person.In this article i am going to make this addiction a little bit more understandable.Yes, workaholism is an addiction and a disease, and may be pleasurable to the victim, but is still addiction.We are not going to run the world if we feel crappy, have no friends and can never put our feet up, girls.Yet, even for them, workaholism is likely to destroy much of the pleasure that their wealth and success brings.I suspect it happens quite slowly, with no real consciousness on the part of the person involved that some boundary had been crossed between a voluntary immersion in work and a state of addiction.Workaholic is really not good for you in the long run.Just as an alcoholic drinks because he or she must, not because they enjoy it, so a workaholic is addicted to working-even when there is no rational reason for doing so.To recognize someone who is a workaholic is not so easy because of many misconceptions about workaholism.It's hard to judge precisely where someone might slip from being hard-working, to become increasingly obsessed with work, to becoming a fully-fledged workaholic.Workaholic is a person who works a lot of the time, for very long hours, and has difficulty not working.At the very beginning of this article i need to clarify that the term workaholic is very often used inaccurately, to describe an energetic person who devotes a lot of time to work.



It may be burdensome and troubling with harmful social behavior, and like all other addictive diseases, it is progressive.For a workaholic, work is an end in itself.That you are actually a workaholic and not just a hard worker:.Alienating yourself from colleagues and friends, not taking care of yourself to the point where you get sick and never letting yourself truly relax.While it may bring wealth or power, what matters most is simply working.That person is a hard working person, not a workaholic.If that person has good relations with his family, co- workers and friends, taking pleasure on a regular basis, knows how to rest well, and refuses to work on weekends from home or at work, that person is not a workaholic.Workaholic is seen simply as an unfortunate by-product of being successful and wealthy.
