Just an observation, VMMV. Years before I started drinking again, I was in that mode of working
all the time.
60-84 hrs. per week, year round, did this for years. Alcoholics like myself can find numerous unhealthy ways of filling the void left by drinking. I'm in the process of moving now, looking at all of the crap I spent money on, all of it utterly meaningless, most of it probably used to fill some hole I seem to have here, none of it filled that hole.
