Idols?

Our family has just started the book, "Peacemaking for Families" by Ken Sande. Tonight's chapter was on idolatry. We usaully think of idols as wooden or metal statues worshipped by pagans. And though we might 'know' that anything can be an idol, we can sometimes deny that we are 'that kind of person'. And often we deny that what are really idols in our hearts, are really idols. Here are a few questions that challenged me to check for idols in my own heart.
1. What am I preoccupied with? (What do I think about when I wake up and go to sleep?)
2. (Fill in the blank) If only ________ then I would be happy, fulfilled, and secure.
3. What do I want to preserve or avoid?
4. Where do I put my trust?
5. What do I fear?
6. When a certain desire isnt met, do I feel frustration, anxiety, resentment, bitterness, anger, or depression?
7. Is there something I desire so much that I am willing to disappoint or hurt others in order to have it?

Two other things I learned, are 1) idols don't have to be bad desires to be bad, and 2) idolatry is something that happens when we're not fully satisfied with God.
The good side? God offers forgiveness and the power to overcome these sins, if we will repent and turn to him!...Well these are just a few scattered thoughts that I've tried to put into words, but I hope they at least gave you a general idea :)
I pray God will bless today and all this next week to all of you!
