Thank You Hank very helpful. Great point on Vitamin B. This could be very helpful for others. I wasn't taking Vitamin B supplements at first .My Vitamin B readings however were always normal though . What happens with heavy drinkers is that your liver and kidneys aren't functioning properly and they don't process the vitamin B to the organs that need it. So your blood test will show you as having normal vitamin B levels as it stays in the blood but your are heavily deficient. What actually happened to me when I stopped drinking I went super healthy and was taking a lot of vitamin supplements but it takes a while for you organs to recuperate so my liver/kidneys still weren't processing the vitamins to organs that need them so I ended up with B6 toxicity in my blood which also is quite hard on your nervous system and produces neuropathy type . My B6 reading was three times the normal range I hope that makes sense
