Sounds to me like you are rapidly becoming less alpha, and turning into a boring working stiff instead. Workaholic does not equal alpha at all.

Afterall how am I supposed to get women and more friends when I can barely even get my own life in order. That's what I feel it's doing right now, helping me get my own life's responsibilities back on track before putting anyone else on.
Stage 3 is probably just the blunt of it as you said. Later stages hopefully likely smoothen that mindset I have right now.

From what I've observed, alphas (and even jerks) get beautiful women even when they're broke...
