Is There a 12-Step Program for Workaholics?


I enjoy BUSINESS WEEK a great deal. But the juxtaposition of the disintegration of Richard E. Belluzzo's 23-year marriage and his mother's concerns about his workaholism with the statement that such ''...addiction may be just what the doctor ordered for SGI...'' was troubling (''What makes Rick run?'' Information Technology, Feb. 1). I have never believed business is worth sacrificing personal relationships for, and to congratulate someone for it seems somewhat myopic.
