Date: January 13th, 2018 6:18 PM Author: Impertinent laser beams gas station I always worked a lot but it got a lot worse when I got divorced about three years ago. It was the only thing that took my mind off my cheating whore ex. It was the only place people treated me like I was valued. It's like a RPG for me at this point. I like to grind. It's the only thing I have in my life. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3858633&forum_id=2#35149275) |

Date: January 13th, 2018 6:56 PM Author: concupiscible church nowag Apparently that is your preference. If you desired happiness you would work less, or work for something in a manner that justifies your efforts. But instead you merely work, like an ox terrified of life without the yoke.

|
Date: January 13th, 2018 7:09 PM Author: concupiscible church nowag I told you to work less and your response was "I can't." It seems you're already resigned to your fate. It'd be one thing if you were oblivious and needed to be made aware. But you are aware, and you simply post here seeking sympathy rather than do something about it. I will affirm any poster's efforts to break a harmful addiction, even when the effort is probably doomed. If you don't try, though, there's not much more to be said.
If you're willing to make the effort, maybe some ex-workaholics will have advice. |
