Vitamins: an Adiction ?

After reading the short story Vitamins I relaized it was very complex. It seems very staright forward if you just read it but if you analyze it it is very strange. It starts with the business of Patti which we don't know what kind of relation she has with the narrator but she lives in the same house as him. Her business is to sell vitamins. This business has become her life to the point that now she dreams with it and she fills that vitamins are in her entire life. I could relate this story with people who are workaholics. They live for their jobs and would probably die for them. These people are in a lot of stress and may be declared to be sick. Their bodies are now tired and only respond to their jobs to nothing else. They may end up sleeping only a few hors per night and having a hard time getting energy. They are not healthy and they are in need of help maybe they can accept that they have a problem but they will say that they don't have time to wonder off their jobs because it will just fail. Maybe this is what is happening to Patti, she started working and know she is consumed by it, not the way I described exactly but the end result will be a person just like that. She only things of Vitamins, she feels the need to be at work and will find someone responsible for her acts if something related to his work goes wrong. This story was very strange but I could relate it with the addiction for work. I also could connect the Vitamins with drugs since the setting in the party would be a place were people use drugs the people in the party are strange and alcohol brings to drugs.
