Overdone

 You know you are addicted if you do what normal people do, but you overdo it.  Drink or drugs would be an easy one to recognize if you are not into them or are in recovery.  But we can become addicted to other things we think are good, healthy, productive.  Running would be one of them.  A person starts jogging and then decides to become a marathoner and keeps at it in spite of numerous injuries, failure to be responsible in other tasks because they are busy training.  Then there is incessant reading because information is power for you.  You cannot get enough of it.  Being good or looking good can be addictive, as in trying to please others or fit in with whatever.  Work can become addictive especially if it is based upon trying to prove yourself, which is not the same as trying to keep your job.  I like the idea of doing nothing before doing something.  Prayer is like doing nothing, ironically.
