From a Workaholics Anonymous meeting:
"Hi, My name is Peter and I am a workaholic...
Where should I start ?
Well, I aced college. Got my Ph.D. in two years. Got a high paying job right away and I was promoted to the director of my department in six months. I am getting about one patent every week to my name... I have more than eight million dollars in stock options.
I bought a Victorian house and renovated it from bottom up by myself in three weeks which has added fifty percent to the value of the house. I have my own garden and grow my own fruits and vegetables and cook all my meals...
I have won two statewide chess championships...
It goes on and on. I don't know why I am doing this to myself. It's awful. My wife left me for a couch potatoe. My sisters don't talk to me. My whole life is falling apart..."
