work addiction

There are many people, who are work addicts or workaholics. They work all the time and think that this is absolutely normal. However, they don’t understand that they undermine their health. These people are miserable creatures. Work for them is their only occupation and recreation. They are depressed on weekends because they are deprived of their favorite matters. There is nothing more in life of these people except their work. That is why on weekends they often feel bad, have headache and other health disturbances. They work hard and dream of promotion because there are no other values in their lives. These people are rarely happy in their family life. Their children and spouses are neglected. They are on the last place in the list of their priorities. Work addiction is a characteristic feature of a great number of people and this number is increasing exponentially day by day. This is caused by the fact that people consider money, career and success to be the most important in their lives. Other things are considered by the majority of people to be absolutely unimportant. Today people are not interested of spiritual aspects of life. Only material things are attractive to them. These are the main reasons for work addiction. People don’t think much about the sense of their life and thus they work too much in order not to have much free time, because the surplus of free time often makes people think of their life and its sense.

Addiction and will

Many people claim that they are strong willed and are not predisposed to any types of addictions. I think that you can never be sure in your ability to resist temptation. Life experience shoes that those people who argue that they can cope with any types of addiction. If a person tells you that he/she is not prone to addiction, b sure, he/she is already an addict. While all other people doubt if they are strong willed enough to resist addiction, addicts argue that they have strong will and can give smoking or drinking alcohol at any moment. Addiction is a very terrible thing. You fail to notice when you become an addict. Besides, you can’t assess your state adequately. All drunkards look at the mirror and notice nothing horrible there. They don’t see that they have sunk. They are still sure that they are healthy and that they can stop drinking, they simply don’t see any profit in it. They go on drinking alcohol and refuse treatment. The same refers to smokers and gormandizers. Obesity is often caused by gluttony. Overeating is socially acceptable. When you eat much, nobody will reproach you. Thus you think that there is nothing bad in it and become food-addictive. You must follow your habits and analyze your behavior. Only thus you will be able to avoid becoming addctive.

Addiction

There are many types of addiction nowadays. They are alcoholism, drug addiction, internet addiction and many others. Each year the number of addicts who suffer from their addictions increases and it is a sign that our society is ill and only a miracle can save it. What is the reason for the existence of such a great number of addictions? I think that the main one is stress and overload. People can’t cope with their problems and all traditional ways of relaxation are of no help for them. That is why they resort to alternative ways, which are in most cases dangerous and threaten persons safety and health.
