What do you mean...that you have an addictive personality?

It would be ideal if I could get addicted to work :-)

It's just these bad habits that have got me...nail biting, gum knawing, not taking very good care of myself, laziness, smoking, and of course...drinking which leads to drugs.

Oops..forgot the drug part. Yea, I guess, or complusive Went to counseling once and the lady had me set the timer telling me I could do something..anything for an hour then had to stop whether I was done..satisfied whatever.(except my job) Seems like I can't do alittle of anything. I even set the timer for the computor. I could be here all day and night.

Hi

I am an alcoholic, workaholic.

So a quick answer to reply number 2, addiction to work, can destroy family life as much as alcohol, gerat if you can control it, which is what I am having to do.

I was always one of those work hard - play hard types.

I had 3 Jobs, Full time job, evening Job and a weekend job, and yes I was always drunk every day as well, how I did I do not know, why I do not know, but did it I did.

Now back to the questions, NO your not ALONE, I have an addictive personality, I can get addicted to many things, as a part of my counselling away from drink I had to deal with my other issues, as they often lead me to drink.

Are you getting any help, it is out there, maybe you have more than one issue to deal with.

But you are far from alone that I can tell you

Take care

You're not alone. We are all here because we are addicted to alcohol but we are all probably addicted to all sorts of things. I heard some say in a meeting that if you put him in a room with a sock he would get addicted to it. It made me laugh because it's true for many of us. The good news is that a power higher than ourselves can and will restore us to sanity if we let him. take care and don't worry about it...you are not alone.

I can relate totally. In marijuana anonymous there is a pamphlet on "cross addiction" that is available online. My sponsor says we look for things... You hit the nail on the head (add relationships for me, and then some)
