I used to work weekends too, but my wife put a stop to that (I still do a few hours but fit it in around family).

It's very difficult to lead a normal life when working from home or self employed.

There are lots of these threads, and it's a common problem. Doing exercise, going out frequently, trying to work to normal 9-5 hours are all things people usually recommend. I can never seem to stick to that advice.
Yeah I'm in the same boat. I'm paranoid that if I take a break, everything will start going haywire. Others have also told me this is normal and I will get used to that. Yes, setting your own hours is a lifestyle decision I guess. Just hard sometimes. I need to totally curb my smoking as well. I seem to smoke 3 times as much doing work from my comp. Thanks for the advice CS!
