Addict - can you afford a 9+ month sabatical? If you can take 6 off, first 3 to recharge, next 3 to dabble and look for work/career change, 3 month plus reserve. Maybe you really need an extended vacation. What does your wife think? That's a critical thing to compare.

I've burned out before doing 60-70-80 a week IT, all nighters, 30 hour "days", for longer periods of time. I never had an opportunity to unwind (until being laid off) and was still bothered by it when I approached normal hours.

At least investigate being able to take some time to yourself. Believe me when I say there is nothing like a RELAXING string of sunrises by yourself, some fish, and the shoreline to melt many troubles away...

Good luck man!
