      It’s not deemed acceptable, it’s deemed absolutely necessary. Hard to fight it most times.

        Work Yes. But as a former workaholic there is that time where you do it like an addict. You sacrifice health, relationships, and joy. It winds up consuming you like any other addiction.

      I’m not sure if the alternative (being unemployed) is any healthier.

        I don’t mean work in general. I mean when it becomes like the normal addictions we think of and it consumed you.
