"You might be a workaholic if..." could easily be a Jeff Foxworthy comedy line. Just like his famous line, "You might be a redneck if..."

In my counseling men, a regular occurrence is hearing guys talk about how much they work and how hard it is to stop thinking about work. Just this week a guy who owns 10 different businesses said his mind races in bed at night. Another guy came to his counseling meeting dead tired after working a double shift all night.

Are either of these guys' workaholics or are they just hard workers? The difference between being a workaholic and not isn't so much about how many hours you work as it is the attitude you have about work.

  1. Thank you for sharing this blog entry about You Might Be a Workaholic if - Take a Work Addiction Test to Find Out. I’ve got to get cool new scoops. Keep your posts coming! Will definitely read them all. 😉

  2. My husband and I have been together for 20 years married for 10 years. He has never really been that affectionate in our relationship but we always would connect in the bedroom. Lately he works a lot and I know that he is working he always calls me and keeps in contact. When he is at home all he wants to do is sleep, which is understandable but I do need something. I have told him many times what I need and he does try for a little while and then back to the same thing. I don't make it easy for him by giving him attitude. I started having multiple dreams of him cheating on me. I feel like he is not cheating yet because he is really working, but it does scare me.
