workaholic confessions

I'm a workaholic, confessed to be and know it is a part of my make up. If I had been a business man I have no doubt I would have succeeded but I have always taken a different route and yet, the workaholic tendencies are still there. Some folks look at them and call them passion. Some look and call those same tendencies what they are, an ever consuming overwhelming of fear that if I don't work longer, harder, and smarter than everyone else the people I am providing for will suffer. The shame of that type of thinking the people I love the most suffer anyway.

Yup, I'm a workaholic. Will most likely die one. It is a sad way to live a life but a trap it seems hard to break free from, regardless of the motivation.
