Spiritual Minded Military New Jersey Army National Guard: How to Stop Drinking Every Day — The Sobriety Protocol

 

Every Day is a how-to guide for quitting drinking.

You wake up. Your mouth is dry. Your head hurts. You are feeling queasy. Last night was the last night you swore. Last night wasn't the final night.

You don't have to look down before you ask the question. What do I do to get off of my drinking habit?

You have used self-control. You've done some cutting back. You have only consumed alcohol during weekends. The weekend comes. You drink. Monday comes. You drink. Tuesday comes. You drink. Each day is the same. Each day is the same loss.

You are not weak. You're caught in a vicious circle. The cycle is chemical. The cycle is behavioral. There is a solution for the cycle.

The Sobriety Protocol is the answer. Not a meeting. Not a slogan. A strategic, step-by-step plan on how to end the daily drinking cycle.

"Everything is permissible for me, but not everything is beneficial. I will not be mastered by anything." — 1 Corinthians 6:12

WHY YOU DRINK EVERY DAY (THE HONEST ANSWER)

You drink daily because you've now conditioned your body to operate on alcohol. Your mind is wired differently. Your brain is rewired. A reward system that previously gave dopamine for food, connection, and accomplishment is now giving dopamine for alcohol.

In fact, you don't lack willpower; you're simply not drinking. Your brain has been rewritten, and you are drinking because of it. It is reprogrammed back to its sobriety mode by the Sobriety Protocol.

There are three problems with the daily drinker:

1. Chemical: You are dependent on your body. Withdrawal occurs when you cease using. Anxiety. Shaking. Nausea. Insomnia. It's too painful to pull out. Drinking to stop the pain.
2. Behavioral: You have a routine. After work. After dinner. Once the children have gone to sleep. The habit is an unconscious one. You cannot choose to drink. You just drink.
3. Identity: You are a drinker; you believe you are. Your friends see you as a drinker. Your family identifies you as a drinker. The label appears to be semi-permanent.

All three problems are cured by the Sobriety Protocol. Chemical. Behavioral. Identity.

THE JERSEY TURNPIKE ROUTINE

New Jersey operates on a schedule. The Turnpike. The Parkway. The same way out each day. The same gas station. The same liquor store—again. The same bottle. The same regret.

Your daily life is the weapon your enemy uses. Everyday commute to home. The daily stop. The daily drink. You need not be defeated by the enemy. He only needs you to continue with the routine.

The Sobriety Protocol upsets the norm. Not with willpower. With logistics.

The same route to home won't get you there. You can't refuel at the same service station. May not enter the same liquor store. The trigger is the routine. Change the routine. Break the trigger.

THE SOBRIETY PROTOCOL (30 DAYS)

You can't change the years of daily drinking in one day. The following day, you can be different. Then tomorrow. Then the day after.

Week One: The Interruption

In Week One, the only task you have is to break the chain! Not to stop completely. Not to be perfect. Just to interrupt.

• Day 1: Don't drink the first drink! Don't have as many as normal.
• Day 2: First drink one hour later.
• Day 3: Replace one drink with one glass of Cellular Hydrate. Electrolytes. Not alcohol.
• Day 4: Two-hour delay.
• Day 5: Two drinks replaced with Cellular Hydrate.
• Day 6: One day without any alcoholic beverages.
• Day 7: Total day off of alcohol!

Week Two: The Replacement

You need to fill your hands with something. It's something to do with your mouth. An event that has a time dimension.

• Spiritual Minded Mushroom Coffee Blend: It is the morning routine for your cup of coffee. Not alcohol. Clean energy. No crash.
• Cellular Hydrate (evening ritual): Not alcohol. The minerals help your nervous system to relax.
• The pocket notebook: Jot down all cravings. Not to fight it. To count it. Awareness is the first step.

Week Three: The Identity Shift

You're not a person who wants to quit drinking. You are a sober person. The language matters.

• Don Spiritual Minded Military shirt in the morning. The uniform tells who you are.
• Tell one person. I'm following the Sobriety Protocol.
• Join the formation. If you can find another New Jersey Guardsman to do the protocol.

Week Four: The New Normal

Your body is accustomed to it. Your mind is changing. The desires are more subdued.

• Maintain the morning ritual. Mushroom Coffee. Cellular Hydrate. Uniform.
• Save the evening ritual. It's now your hour to drink, instead of their hour. Stand the watch.
• Be ready for an ambush. The enemy will come back again. He will whisper. You've got it down. You are ready.

THE JOINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST CONNECTION

Joint Base MDL is where New Jersey trains. The base is very big. It's an unrelenting mission. The stress is high. There is high drinking.

The base has a bar. A drinking culture is found in the base. The base has soldiers that drink each day.

You're not alone. MDL has been losing at the game for years. The Sobriety Protocol is the beginning of success!

One soldier at a time, one day at a time. Incremental changes, one at a time.

THE ENEMY'S DAILY LIES

The enemy whispers every day. He whispers at the same time. The same place. The same lie.

Lie One: "You deserve a drink. Today was hard."

The enemy tells you that you earned it. You worked hard. You served. You sacrificed. You deserve to relax.

Counter: The enemy is lying. You deserve to be healthy. You deserve to be present. You deserve to wake up without regret. The bottle does not give you what you deserve.

Lie Two: "Just one. You can control it."

The enemy tells you that you are different now. You can have just one. You are not like those other drinkers.

Counter: The enemy is lying. One is never one. One is the first one. The first one leads to the second one. The second one leads to the fifth one. The fifth one leads to regret. Do not take the first one.

Lie Three: "Tomorrow. You can start tomorrow."

The enemy tells you that tomorrow is a better day to start. Finish the bottle today. Start fresh tomorrow.

Counter: The enemy is lying. Tomorrow never comes. Tomorrow is always tomorrow. The only day that exists is today. Start today.

"Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." — 1 Peter 5:8

THE NEWARK ASSIGNMENT

Newark has an armory. Newark has soldiers. Newark has drinks. The cycle is the same in Newark as it is in Trenton, in Vineland, and in Atlantic City.

Your assignment is not to fix Newark. Your assignment is to fix today.

One day. One routine change. One drink is replaced with Cellular Hydrate. Two hours of delay. One cup of Mushroom Coffee. One uniform worn. One lie countered. One day.

The days add up. The weeks add up. The protocol works.
