What do you think about work all the time? Do you work longer hours than 1 what a normal job requires? Do you feel bad when your working hours are 2 trimmed? Are you anxious when you're not at work? If you answered "yes", then you might be a workaholic, a person who is a work 3 addict.How can that be? In truth, you can 4 abuse anything – food or exercise. Work addiction ­­keeps us busy all the time and stops us from looking inside ourselves. "There is no effective 5 therapy for work addiction because workaholics are seeking a way of not 6 fussing over their pain, anxiety, or feelings," says a 7 professional consultant. "Workaholics put the job before family, friends, and their own health. 8 Even if they're spending time with their families, their mind is on work." 9 In fact, there is a difference between hard work and work addiction. Hard work doesn't make you ­­yawn even if it 10 includes some periods of long hours and many fragments of 11 tedious work. Work addiction, on the other hand, makes your life 12 consist of work only. It is true that we live in a society that rewards work addiction, and we 13 receive congratulations ­­for working long hours and taking on more and more responsibilities. Being 14 condemned a workaholic is often not taken as an insult.Our society in some ways 15 reinforces and rewards overwork. Sometimes it is subtle, but there is a lot of 16 recognition given to people for being extremely busy with their daily grind. Often, workaholics make their business 17 flourish. On Monday mornings co-workers often came in and 18 swore how many hours they had worked for the 19 duration of their weekend. The people who didn't work on Saturday or Sunday were 20 viewed as less interested in their jobs, though some organizations encourage overwork, learn to relax and not neglect your private life
