Karoshi + Alcoholism = FAIL

Browsing around wikipedia, I came across an article about karoshi, the Japanese term for being overworked. The article states that "It was recognized that employees cannot work for twelve or more hours a day, six or seven days a week, year after year, without suffering physically as well as mentally."

I found this interesting, b/c That's about my work schedule. I wake up at 5 a.m. 6 days a week, and every weekday, I work until 6p.m. That's 12 working hours a day 5 days a week. Then on Saturdays, I work for 9 hours.

Also, I'm an alcoholic.

That's a pretty big tax on my body. And it's starting to show up in my life in bad ways.
