Addicted to a Roof Over My Head

Yes, I am female but I am an addict too. I am addicted to a roof over my head, paying my heat, electric and water bills. Addicted to eating, paying for my Internet service and my car insurance.

I’m just wondering if these same psychologists would describe the lazy as addicted to sloth? Perhaps. I think they are just trying to drum up business.

While there are some workaholics out there, it is pretty ridiculous to call people addicted to success. UNLESS…you intend to open a rehab where you can charge the successful and wealthy $50K a month to become “clean and sober”. What a scam…
