I would like to add the supplements I'm taking which I believe are REALLY REALLY helping me right now in this process. Obviously the high fat aspect of my diet also helps, but there are things I believe I am low in as a result of smoking/drinking so taking supplements really helps:
fish oil - this stuff is the bomb for depression and also making sure my brain starts working as it should without nicotine
magnesium - great muscle relaxant, sleep aid and many drugs deplete it including alcohol and nicotine.
B complex - a good whole-food natural B complex is better absorbed and I feel more balanced emotionally from taking this.
vitamin C - for detoxification and stress.
zinc balanced with copper - again, to support mental health and detox.
taurine - chemical detoxification and a calming amino acid - also a mood stabilizer.
general multivitamin - as a 'base' for the other things I take to ensure no imbalances.
melatonin - to help with sleep cycle disturbances - works a treat for me at just 1mg a night.
