Workaholics anonymous

[yurfi]

I have a problem and I'm wondering if someone can help.

I think I'm a workaholic

I've been taking high doses acid reducing stomach medication to stop the ulcers that plague me from stress.

I also take valium to try to aleviate my stress levels and help me sleep.

I'm also seeing a relaxation therapist (which hasn't helped yet)

I seem to be in a spiral of perpetual frustration that I can't get enough done.

Does anyone have a similar issue. Can you suggest any good books or methods

This problem is affecting my family life and isn't funny at all. :(

Any advise is greatly appreciated

I can recommend this book:

The Man Who Mistook His Job for a Life : A Chronic Overachiever Finds the Way Home

by Jonathon Lazear.

Good read. Lazear does a good job explaining first why workaholics are who they are, then explaining how to break free from overworking.

Good luck.
