Hi, is there anyone out there who knows, or knows of a source for information about the physiological effects of recovery? I am nearly five months sober, and, thank God, was never so severely ill that I required time in rehab or suffered the DTs. That said, clearly my sobriety is affecting my body, and most likely in positive ways.

As someone who likes to know "what's going on," I have become interested in the medium- and long-term effects of sobriety on different systems -- brain, liver, etc. And, I was also wondering if there are any special actions -- e.g. vitamins or the like (I'm definitely not a New-Age kind of guy!) -- that will help my body adjust.
