"...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..."
Most of the others here have given you good low-down on one's body and recovery.....especially how our body's seem to be feeling soooo much better when we're sober (most of us, anyway).
I've found that at my age some multivitamins are always a good bet (I usually use either Wal-Mart's of Wallgreen's generic version of Centrum Silver), and I throw in some extra 'C' since I still smoke. I tried some of the fish oils and combo's for 'joints' but found they did nothing for me.....
.....BUT, to get back to your question.....'long-term effects of sobriety' ...? I don't know about that. I found most of my 'long-term effects' were as a result of my addiction; not my sobriety/recovery......I guess one could say that the only effects I noticed were the reduction/the lessening of the effects of my addiction.....

Keep on keepin' on......
