Workaholics Anonymous Quiz: Are You A Workaholic?
Submitted by Wesley on August 14, 2006 - 11:55pm.
Workaholics Anonymous has prepared twenty questions to ask if you suspect you are (or somebody you know is) a workaholic:
LifeTwo's perspective is that many if not most of the questions above can be answered affirmatively by individuals who don't have work prioritization issues. However, #'s 14, #17 and 20 are certainly signals that the work-life balance is not sufficiently balanced and that some outside assistance might be beneficial. While it's possible that one is simply in a job or has a boss that requires too much of them, it can sometimes be hard to see this without the perspective of a third-party--particularly if the problem is within the individual or if the worker is using work to compensate for something else in their life. In this way organizations such as Workaholics Anonymous (and LifeTwo) can be useful resources for a life course re-correction the same way that Gambler's Anonymous and AA are able to help with those compulsive behaviors. About Workaholics Anonymous:
By the way, if you responded "yes" to several of the questions above, Workaholics Anonymous reminds you to relax and to know that you are not alone. Your recognition of the problem is the first step toward your recovery. The second step is to peruse the articles on this site as there is a lot of information that should be very beneficial to you. If you are unsure how, a good place would be to click on one or more of the "tags" below or read this post.
