Addiction as a Spectrum and Workaholism
Addiction is viewed as a spectrum with various addictive behaviors, such as workaholism, being common. Quitting one addiction, like alcohol, can lead to an increase in another, such as workaholism, as individuals may use work to distract themselves from underlying emotional issues. By identifying and addressing these emotions, individuals can find liberation. Work and social media addiction were discussed as distractions from underlying issues, with work providing a sense of superiority and social media addiction being driven by moral superiority. Quitting these addictive behaviors can help individuals gain insight into their distractions and underlying issues, leading to self-discovery and personal growth.
