Starting the Year Strong With ASAP
The start of a new year is a natural time for reflection, reset and recommitment. For single Soldiers, it’s also an opportunity to strengthen personal readiness by making smart, intentional choices that support both mission success and overall well-being. One of the most important resources available to help with that reset is the Army Substance Abuse Program.
ASAP plays a critical role in supporting readiness by promoting healthy decision-making, preventing substance misuse and providing early intervention and treatment when needed. For junior Soldiers, who often navigate new duty stations, demanding schedules and social environments that can normalize risky behaviors, ASAP offers tools to stay focused and resilient from day one.
Starting the year strong means understanding how alcohol and substance misuse can negatively affect physical readiness, mental clarity, relationships and career progression. ASAP education helps Soldiers recognize warning signs early, before they affect performance or lead to disciplinary action. Through prevention training, clinical services and confidential support options, ASAP empowers Soldiers to take ownership of their health without fear or stigma.
Single Soldiers can also use the New Year to set personal goals such as improving fitness, strengthening finances, building positive relationships and maintaining emotional resilience. ASAP supports these goals by reinforcing accountability, encouraging responsible choices and connecting Soldiers with resources that promote long-term success.
By engaging with ASAP early and proactively, single Soldiers set a strong foundation for the year ahead. Readiness starts with the individual, and choosing to start the year informed, focused and supported is a powerful first step toward mission success and personal growth.
