Partly Cloudy (I like your name),
It's good that you want to do your homework before taking supplements. Especially during the acute part of recovery - detox, withdrawals, etc., there are a few things that are known to be very vital and helpful: B vitamins, amino acids, the omega-3 fats. Try to avoid processed foods, and if you eat bread, try to stick to whole grains, not the type made from white flower. Diet makes a big difference in how one feels. I am still in early recovery myself.

Will I be able to use these tools effectively without having to go through a day-long blood sugar level test? The research I've done so far for nutritional counselling services look like they just want to suck the money out of you and sell high priced vitamins. I'm just ornery enough to try to do this myself.
