Spiritual Minded Military South Dakota Army National Guard: Fort Meade Soldier Alcohol Misuse Statistics — The Black Hills Sobriety Protocol

THE NUMBERS THE GUARD DOES NOT SHOW YOU

Soldiers are trained in Fort Meade. The Black Hills are on patrol. The Badlands are extended up to the horizon. The Missouri River flows in the middle of the state.

South Dakota is a beautiful place. South Dakota is tough. There is a drinking problem in South Dakota.

The statistics do not represent opinions. They are not conjectures. They are figures that are followed by the Guard but not announced.

South Dakota has always been among the 10 states that have the highest rate of binge drinking. Alcohol misuse among veterans in rural South Dakota is higher as compared to their urban counterparts.

The National Guard soldiers in the northern plains consume more as compared to active-duty soldiers in the same region.

The foe is a maniac over numbers. He is enamored with numbers that are hopeless. The numbers are altered by the Black Hills Sobriety Protocol.

"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 FORT MEADE PROBLEM

In the outskirts of Sturgis is Fort Meade. It is set against a background of the Black Hills. Soldiers have been trained since the Indian Wars at the base. The horsemen used to ride these hills. Today, the National Guard troops are training in the same location.

Not the base is the problem. The question is what occurs beyond the base.

After the drill weekend, you leave Fort Meade. You are heading towards Rapid City, towards Spearfish, towards small towns that dot the prairie. The black hills in your rearview mirror are fading. The loneliness takes root.

It is the same play that the enemy has been running in South Dakota since time immemorial. Isolate the soldier. Offer the bottle. Call it camaraderie.

WHAT THE STATISTICS DO NOT TELL YOU

The statistics will inform you of the number of South Dakota Guard members who are drinkers. The statistics would not tell you why.

Here is why.

You are stationed at Fort Meade. You are in formation with soldiers in the whole state. You feel connected. You are a part of something. Then you drive home to a town where no one knows what you do. The connection evaporates. The bottle is given by the enemy to cover the gap.

The bottle fails to fill the emptiness. The bottle increases the emptiness. You wake up even more secluded than ever. You drink again. The gap increases once again.

THE BLACK HILLS SOBRIETY PROTOCOL

The figures are the intelligence report of your enemy. He is aware of figures. He presents the figures to make you believe that nothing can be changed.

Your counterintelligence is the Black Hills Sobriety Protocol.

Step One: Acknowledge the Statistic

You do not make the statistic. Behind the statistic, you are the soldier. The figure does not characterize you. The statistic is used to explain the battlefield. What you do not recognize you cannot change.

Step Two: Shake the Routine

The sequence is isolation, bottle, shame, and isolation. Break the pattern at isolation. When you see the loneliness approaching, remember not to wait and feel the desire. Immediately deploy the counter-signal. Deploy the counter-signal immediately. One scoop of Cellular Hydrate. One cup of Spiritual Minded Mushroom Coffee Blend. One text to a battle buddy.

Step Three: Replace the Connection

You drank to feel connected. The bottle never delivered. Find real connection. Put on your Spiritual Minded Military shirt. Go to a place where veterans gather. Stand in formation, even if the formation is not military. The uniform attracts your tribe.

Step Four: Change the Statistics

Statistics are not destiny. Statistics are measurements. The statistic is different when you quit drinking. You are not sitting back and waiting to see the state correct the situation. You are the answer.

The Black Hills Sobriety Protocol does not request you to work harder. The Black Hills Sobriety Protocol provides you with an additional supply line.

THE RURAL SOUTH DAKOTA REALITY

You are on a farm outside Philip. You are a rancher in Belle Fourche. You are an out-of-Mitchell farmer. The closest armory is within an hour. The closest battle ally is a distance away.

The enemy uses distance as his ally. He is aware that you will not drive an hour to sit in a church basement. He is aware that you will not be able to drive an hour to be at a meeting. He is aware that you are not going to drive an hour to request assistance.

The Black Hills Sobriety Protocol is presented to you. Not vice versa.

Your Spiritual Minded military shirt is not in an armory. Your Cellular Hydrate is not in a meeting. Your procedure is in your kitchen. In your cabinet is your counter-signal.

Distance has always worked against you and the enemy. The protocol eliminates distance.

For the coffee that gives you energy to break the distance, secure Spiritual Minded Mushroom Coffee Blend at SpiritualMindedNutrition.com.

THE ONE STATISTIC THAT MATTERS

The state monitors the rates of binge drinking. Alcohol-related deaths are monitored by the VA. The Guard follows surveys of soldiers.

One of the statistics is more important than all the rest. You. One soldier. One decision.

The statistic is different when you stop drinking. Not by much. Not sufficient to get the attention of the state. But the enemy takes notice. When a single soldier quits drinking, it causes the enemy to lose ground. One soldier at a time, the enemy is driven out of his foothold in South Dakota.

You are not bidding the state to correct the issue. You are not waiting till the guard releases a program. You are not awaiting the VA to call you back.

You are the program. You are the solution. You are the statistic that matters.

"Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage." — Galatians 5:1
