Workaholism
Workaholics have a problem with self-esteem. Some professional people may think themselves competent as doctors, lawyers, or nurses but otherwise uninteresting or undesirable. The hospital or office becomes a comfortable place; whereas the home or social gatherings are places they feel ill at ease. They may become workaholics because the workplace is where they feel the best. Some say, I never take a drop at the office. I only drink at home. This is invariably a sign of the need for anesthesia at home, where they must be social rather than professional. Self-awareness can eliminate this negative view of one-self as only half a person.
