A person who is addicted to working, to the point where their life consists only of work and sleep. They have very few friends, if any, and some rarely see their own families.
Workaholics often suffer from fatigue, sleeping disorders, stress and stress-related ailments, and some eventually work themselves to death. Workaholics are a common sight in some East Asian countries, but are less prevalent in North America and even less in Europe.

Basicly a person with no life, so they decide to try and fill the gap of having no life by working ALL THE TIME. This generally does not work and people who turn into workaholics are usually unmarried over-ambitious women and over-ambitious men
An example of a workaholic is someone staying in the workplace after their designated shift despite not having anything important to do.
