Document Summary

Workaholism: chapter 11 & 12: have to be careful about what we call addictions. I"m not sure if you have a drinking problem, but is it true that the problems you have had happened while drinking listen to others that encourages them to talk, talk to others that encourages them to listen failure. The chains of habit are to light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken. If you buy a lottery ticket- it is technically gambling. Puts the client in the presence of others that have been successful, it gives them hope. Individual therapy cant give the same kind of feeling (community) than a group can give: self help group gives a sense of altruism. People with anxiety don"t always have problems with eating but she does. This is where we want to go: being mad isn"t going to help the addict, lecturing wont help the person.
