I was looking back over the time I've been in the program and was looking at the yet's I've used. Like I'm not that bad yet. I didn't eat real sugar, just peanut butter, so I haven't broke my abstinence yet. Another yet for me is I've never got as bad as I used to be yet. The word yet can really trip me up a lot. The acronym for yet is your eligible too. That is saying that maybe I hadn't got that bad yet, but I could very easily go back up to 305 pounds and die in this disease. All the blessings that I have gotten from this program could be gone with the snap of a finger or to better say it with a bite of sugar, flour or wheat or eating off the plan. It scared me because I am taking the disease lightly. It says in the Big Book on page 37, "there is little serious or effective thought during the period of premeditation of what the terrific consequences might be." That says to me that I forget I'm sick and all that I have received from this program can be gone with one bite of sugar, flour or wheat or if I eat off the plan. Yet is a mighty big word for me to look at and to not use anymore. Just a thought.
