Synopsis

Stroking the Compulsion - Workaholism is written as an inspiration for hope to all those workaholics who survive in a knowing or unknowing manner of being a workaholic each day at the expense of damaging the relationships with their family and friends. There are not many support groups in the United States to help the workaholic. Though there are some books written on the subject of workaholism, for me they were not much help. This is a true story of my life experience with workaholism. I lost two (2) families through divorce because of my disease. There is not true supportive help in our society for a workaholic. If you are a workaholic, and have a family life that is whole, I truly applaud your success. If you are a workaholic who has a family life that has been shattered, you are not alone. The book is set out in the format using double spaced the lines to allow you to use this book as a "workbook" while reading. The pages are only printed on one side. This will allow you, the reader, to write your own thoughts in the spaces provided as you read this book, perhaps to evaluate your own life as a workaholic, or to determine if you may have workaholic tendencies. The Holy Spirit has brought me new life and new hope and a new family. Without my Creator I would not be where I am today. There is hope and new life for a workaholic. May God Bless You, May HE Wrap HIS Arms Around You, and Give You Peace.

Biographie de l'auteur

Bill Smith is a professional engineer and a recovering workaholic. As with all "ics" this will continue the rest of my days. This book is about my life and struggle to survive and live a healthy life. For over 26 years I lived and breathed the corporate environment, at great personal sacrifice, along with great personal rewards. For the last seven years, after leaving the corporate environment, my life has changed for the better. But there is more to life that work, and that is what I hope to enjoy for the rest of my life. There is a very fine line between being a workaholic and working diligent, long hard hours. It is very easy to drift between the two realms of work and more times than not in the past I stayed on the side of workaholism. As I approach my sixth decade of life, I realize the mistakes I have experienced because of the choices I made. Over the past 18 years since I began to write this book and realized how I lived, I have had to "re-program" myself and make different choices for the sake of my health and to assure that I do not loose my 3rd family. Life now is great. Each day provides a new opportunity on how I choose to live it, but each day also requires conscious decisions not to live as a workaholic.
