Work addiction is real, and it’s messing with your productivity, your leadership, and—let’s be honest—your sanity. So tell me, which of these addictions is your drug?
That's an accomplishment for certain in modern times.
It's a learning experience for all of us, regarding one thing or another. Your vulnerability makes you relatable. People who have struggled or are struggling "know" and can thus, write and talk about it, to help others.
The work addiction solution depends on the person. For me the entrepreneur vision energy unchecked leads to disconnection from myself, family, and heart-centered leadership. It's like the journey around the world to learn the lessons and then a return to my local-area roots. The beginning of healing came for me back in 2011 when I got deeper into Shadow work. More recently over the past year the Gene Key "Venus Sequence" was extremely helpful. In late 2020 I stopped reading news on my phone, ignored social media opinions, and got deeper into wisdom traditions. At the same time I leaned deep into the market running entrepreneur and content experiments standing up a variety of business models in my attempt to escape from the social media influencer, cold outreach, and disconnected networking models that exhausted.
This hit hard such a sharp breakdown of work addictions. One thing that stood out to me was addiction thrives on self-deception. We tell ourselves we’re just being thorough, responsible, or efficient when we’re really just stuck in a loop. Breaking that takes serious awareness. Great read!
Thank you for clarifying what I was trying to do in a much better and more eloquent way than I ever could. I didn’t even fully understand my intention until I read what you wrote.
Increased Tolerance
The greater the addiction, the more frequently and heavily you engage in the behavior.
This.
You know it.
Because of this article, I am not now looking at my phone at all in the morning. I committed to no technology at all on Sunday mornings.
Yeah I know I wrote the article, but it’s also a learning experience for me too.

I’m not sure I understand everything you said, but it all sounds incredibly positive. Great job.
