Y.O.U. (Young Overcomers United)

👀 Sometimes the best thing you can do… is step back.

Big Joe reminds us that in recovery we hear it all the time:
people, places, and things.

But here’s the key —
👉 it’s okay to view things from a distance.

From a distance:
• You can see what’s coming
• You can think clearly
• You can ask for help
• You can decide who belongs in your life

Not everyone needs to be cut off —
but not everyone needs to be close either.

The right people?
Walk closer to them.

The wrong ones?
Keep your distance.

Recovery World:
Slow down.
Pay attention.
Choose wisely.

Stay surrendered.
You will stay strong. You will stay sober.

👣 Step #5 in the workbook: Give God authority over your life.

Big Joe shares one of the most powerful steps in The YOU Workbook: Pathway to Freedom:

👉 Give God all authority and lordship over your life.

Let’s be real — before recovery, most of us were running on:
me, myself, and I.

No direction.
No foundation.
No real plan for freedom.

Step #5 flips that.

It asks the hard questions:
• Do you pray before making decisions?
• Are you living for yourself… or for God?
• Are you willing to surrender control?

Because giving God authority means sacrifice —
but it leads to freedom, protection, and purpose.

💬 God promises to watch over you, guard you, and preserve your life — if you surrender.

Recovery World:
Get help.
Do the work.
Stay surrendered.

You will stay strong.
You will stay sober.

🔥❄️ You don’t just survive the storm...you prepare for it!

Big Joe reminds us that life and recovery both come with seasons — some warm, some freezing cold.

Right now, it’s cold… so what do you do?
You gather firewood.
You build a fire.
You prepare to stay warm.

Recovery works the same way.

If you know hard days are coming, you’ve got to prepare:
• Build habits
• Stay connected
• Keep your “fire” going

Because storms will come, but preparation keeps you going through them.

Recovery World:
One day at a time.
Prepare for today.

Stay surrendered.
You will stay strong. You will stay sober.

👣 Step #4: Receive Salvation — the foundation for real freedom.

Big Joe shares Step #4 from The YOU Workbook: Pathway to Freedom:

👉 Receive Salvation — believing that Jesus Christ died for your sins and offers eternal life as a free gift.

This step is about a choice.

God doesn’t force it.
We don’t force it.
But the question is — which side are you holding onto?

Your old ways?
Or the new life that’s being offered to you?

If you’ve ever said, “I need help” — especially when you’re alone — this step points you to where that help truly comes from.

Step #4 is about building a new foundation, one that leads to lasting freedom, purpose, and transformation.

Recovery World:
Ask the hard questions.
What do you need saving from?
Who are you relying on?

Stay surrendered.
You will stay strong. You will stay sober.

🔇 If you’re serious about recovery, you’ll make time for quiet.

Big Joe reminds us that real strength often comes in the quiet moments.

The world can be loud.
Lights. Noise. Distractions everywhere.

But when things get quiet…
that’s when you can hear something deeper.

That’s when God speaks.
That’s when strength shows up.
That’s when clarity comes — one day at a time.

Recovery World:
Find the quiet time.
Make the time.
Protect the time.

Stay surrendered.
You will stay strong. You will stay sober.

🙏 What you’re devoted to will shape your day.

Big Joe reminds us that daily distractions can either pull us away from recovery — or become part of our daily surrender.

So many times, we let the distractions behind us dictate our daily devotions. But the truth is this:

What you devote your time to will shape
your thoughts,
your habits,
and your direction for the day.

In recovery, we start with gratitude.
Before your feet hit the floor, take a moment and say:

“Father God, thank you for today. Give me strength to carry on and show me what you want me to do.”

That first moment sets the tone.

Recovery World:
Build new habits.
Choose wisely who and what you surrender to.
One day at a time.
