We've all probably grappled on some level with the age-old issue of maintaining a healthy work/life balance -- especially given the relatively recent boom of PDA's which keep people at the mercy of emails and phone calls no matter how far away they are from the office. But for some, the line between a professional and personal life is a deep shade of gray, plagued by ambiguity which casts a dark cloud over their entire existence. Workaholics are mired in a mindset in which being on the job is the only source of fulfillment -- and they suffer alongside neglected family members.

Workaholics Anonymous offers support, guidance and meetings for those who can't turn off their need to work, displaying characteristics of a workaholic such as, "We tend to schedule ourselves for more than we can handle, believing people will like us more if we can do more and do it faster." The Workaholics Anonymous website also offers a list of twenty questions to answer to help gauge whether or not you're a workaholic.
