This addiction is very common in our society. It affects young and old people. But, actually young people are becoming more and more addicted to alcohol.
This is because of the social context our society is living.
This addiction is very dangerous for our body. It affects our mind and our system. Excessive alcohol can kill us. We must stop drinking, this is the first step in the fight against alcoholism.

workhaholic


The real sense of the work addiction is the escape from intimacy and feelings of emptiness that endanger the family life.
As it’s difficult to detect it, sometimes it can only be noticed after the appearance of physical symptons like dream’s problems, hypertension, rheumatic upsets and muscular diseases, vascular upsets, angina pectoris, infarct or nowrishing disorder. Other factors are inefficiency and stress.
A workaholic is a person who is constantly in a hurry, always busy or doing many tasks permanently. It’s mainly an adicction to action.
This adicction can be revealed during the holidays when you have enough free time which favors the appearance of abstinence symptons such as anxiety, insomnia and anguish. Then you begin to feel this as something threatening.
