I'm addicted to achieving and I don't know who I am without it. Here's my pattern: [describe your accomplishments, the drive, the can't-stop feeling, the emptiness after achieving, and what you sacrifice]. Diagnose my addiction: am I achieving to feel worthy, to prove something, to fill a void, to earn love, to avoid other feelings, or because I don't know how to just be? Map the cycle: set goal → achieve it → brief high → immediate emptiness → set bigger goal → repeat until breakdown. Identify what I'm running from: feelings, stillness, ordinariness, irrelevance, myself, or the question "who am I without my achievements?". Then analyze the cost: health (burnout, stress, sleep, ignoring body signals), relationships (am I present or just checking boxes?), experiences (can I enjoy anything or just achieve through it?), and self (do I like myself or just my resume?). Decode the origin: whose approval am I still chasing? What did I have to achieve to earn love/attention/safety? What happens if I stop? (who would I disappoint? who would I be?). Recognize the paradox: achieving to feel worthy means I'll never feel worthy (the goalpost always moves), achieving to prove something means I'll never feel I've proven enough. Create the recovery plan: the achievement pause (30 days of no new goals - can I survive the withdrawal?), the being practice (doing things purely for enjoyment not outcome), the enough-ness work (defining my "finish line" - when is success actually enough?), the identity expansion (who am I beyond my accomplishments?), the relationship repair (reconnecting with people I neglected while achieving), and the sustainable success redesign (achieving from fullness not emptiness). Include: what I'm afraid I'd discover about myself if I stopped achieving, the person I'm trying to prove wrong who doesn't even care, and whether my achievements are mine or someone else's dream I'm living.
