I was driving down the street, running an errand, and all of the sudden the thought came to mind, "I think I have a gambling problem!"  Alarmed, I questioned this thought because I don't play slot machines, the lottery, scratch cards, or even bet.  So, where would this thought come from?  Most importantly, is it true?

I then thought about my work and realized my behavior about it checked all of the same tick marks that one struggling with gambling would check.  There are certain things about work I don't tell others.  I have trouble controlling myself concerning the amount of work I perform.  I work on projects even when I don't have the time.  My family members worry about my dedication to work.  There are certain highs and lows that I receive from the work accomplished.  

By the time I finished thinking about it, although I don't go to casinos, play black jack or poker, it was confirmed, "I think I have a gambling problem!" 

Listen to the show as we discuss the risks we all take with anything in our lives that causes us to be intemperate.  Be encouraged, there is hope!
