Diane Belz reveals in today's episode the struggles she has with addictions. Both might seem at face value not to be a major issue until you realize what you've lost due to your addictions.

Diane answers these 10 questions from the website https://www.choosingtherapy.com/workaholism/ to determine if she really does struggle with workaholism.

Here are ten indications that you may be addicted to work:

1. Salience: Is work the most important thing in your life?
2. Mood modification: Does working make you feel better at first?
3. Tolerance: Do you need to spend more time working or get more done to feel better?
4. Withdrawal symptoms: Do you feel uncomfortable when you’re not working?
5. Conflict: Do you debate with yourself or people close to you about whether you are working too much?
6. Relapse: Have you tried to cut back on how much you work but failed?
7. Compulsion: Do you have internal pressures to continue working?
8. Intrusive thoughts: Do you have random thoughts about work when you are not working?
9. Disregarding consequences: Do you work to the point where other parts of your life are struggling? Do you ignore the negative consequences of spending a lot of time working?
10. Filling a void: Is there something that work compensates for in your life that you think is missing?
