Fortunately I recognized the path for where it was taking me, and have given up alcohol and drugs. Unfortunately, and the article doesn't address this, is what to do about the 'rage to achieve' and the 'insatiable curiousity'? As my coping mechanism in college wasn't correct, what is the correct adult coping mechanism? High achievement careers don't seem to be sustainable. Family has helped immensely, but doesn't satisfy the mental needs, the insatiable curiousity and rage to achieve. A great article, and presents the path I was on during college.
