Work. Just because society deems it acceptable doesn't mean it's healthy.

It's not deemed acceptable, it's deemed absolutely necessary. Hard to fight it most times.

Work Yes. But as a former workaholic there is that time where you do it like an addict. You sacrifice health, relationships, and joy. It winds up consuming you like any other addiction.

Right. I don't work because I'm addicted to it lmao

I'm not sure if the alternative (being unemployed) is any healthier.

I don't mean work in general. I mean when it becomes like the normal addictions we think of and it consumed you.
