Category: Symptoms/Signs of Problems, Conditions, Addictions, Behavior (BG23)Originally Submitted on 8/9/97.
We all need a certain amount of adrenalin in order to get out of bed and face the day ... But too much of anything can become addictive and unhealthy. If you're wondering if you, or someone you love, has become an "adrenalin junkie", this list can assist in taking a first step toward being liberated from this self-imposed trap!
1. I often feel guilty if I take time off from work and/or feel "out of touch" if away from work for several hours.
2. I often procrastinate and put things off until the last moment in order to motivate myself.
3. I often eat meals quickly, "on the run", or while working or driving.
4. I frequently take time away from family or friends in order to get work done or attend meetings.
5. I believe I truly "work best under pressure".
6. I don't usually take time out for daily meditation, relaxation or recreation; and frequently "blame others" for my own lack of time reserves.
7. Solving problems gives me a sense of personal importance, meaning and/or purpose.
8. I maintain the hope that someday I'll be able to do the things I truly desire.
9. I hate standing in lines or waiting for someone ahead of me to write out a check and get it approved.
10. I often arrive late to scheduled meetings and events because of my busy schedule.
