michael66 nailed it well patience!
I read stuff about how booze depletes our bodies of this and that and how we are basicly malnoursished and you cant just get healthy again by eating well for 30 days or somthing it takes considerably longer. So i'd say eating your fruits and veggies in abundant amounts is pretty ideal.
Sleep makes a lot of sense as well. I proabbly never got a good nights rest while drinking I had a lot of catching up to do. The thing is with kids and all that was still a rather large struggle to get the much needed sleep. But if you can get the sleep by all means go for that too!
