Those freakin' things I refer to as the "yets." There are a lot of people around the tables of AA who figured they didn't have that much of a problem because things hadn't happened "yet." The "yets" eventually came for these people, though...Especially when it came to DUIs. Between fees, urine drops, state-mandated classes, mandatory AA, loss of license, lawyers, potential jail/community service, etc. Some people drop $10,000 on a single DUI. Then there are the divorces, job problems, suicide attempts while drunk (in my case), etc. You know what's up...I'm not lecturing you, because you know these things (& I hate to preach! ). It's the freakin' "yets" that'll get ya. Not everyone develops a problem as early as I did. Many people don't latch on to sobriety until the "yets" come knocking at their door. "Yet!" I don't know how many more I have in reserve!
