Yes...but there is such a thing as a work addict. My father is in his eighties, hasn't had to work in decades, but still works like more than forty hours a week. I have no doubt that if he stopped, he'd be dead within the year.
My wife is also a workaholic but she's the equivalent to the alcoholic that wants to stop drinking but cannot. She just can't help herself to the point that she'll turn her own leisure time into a job.
I used to be the same but heart surgery and cancer cured me of that bullshit.
Sorry to hear about your health problems, but happy you were able to switch off as a result.
