being a workaholic may be caused the relationship within family going far away. communication and time which should spend with family become more less. I'll strive that there will be no overtime during weekend as soon as possible.

stress is inevitable in the work place. stress is always a given. the concept of employment has changed, along with the changes in the economy. people are now driven to work rather than enjoy life. for most, working is already a need of a person. physically and mentally, one is now programmed to work. being unemployed causes more stress than working. being workaholic is just alright as long as it doesn't affect the other aspects of one's life. others would trade their personal and spiritual life just to be better at work. we have to remember that one works to live..not live just to work. there is a huge difference there.
