The Power of YET

Written by: TLR Coach, Katherine Polychron

Maybe you’re here…

You’ve done it! You’ve taken the first step into healing by sending an email for an hour call. Or you’re a month in. Maybe you’ve hit your 1st year free from drugs and alcohol! Perhaps this is year 8 in recovery from an abusive marriage. Maybe you’re 3 weeks free from disordered eating behavior. Whatever your day brings, I am proud of you!

I want to remind you of the power of the word YET.

Many people in recovery will make statements about things that never happened to them- as if to say how lucky they were, or possibly in an attempt to prove to others their addictions weren’t as bad as others had believed.

Some examples of these statements are:

I didn’t get a DUI.

I didn’t die.

I didn’t crash my car.

I didn’t lose all my money.

I didn’t lose my best friend.

I didn’t lose my house.

I didn’t lose my job.

I want you to find your statements, and place the word YET at the end of them.

I didn’t get a DUI YET.

I didn’t lose my job YET.

I didn’t crash my car YET.

And so on…

The power of the word YET brings your efforts of healing and recovery into broad view. YET is a reminder that if we don’t continue to work everyday for our healing, happiness, and wholeness, our YET statements could still become a reality.

Keep up the good, heavy work! It is worth it!
