"Does anyone know if mercury screws up with a person's will power. I try to incorporate a healthy diet/stop alcohol but the lack of will power always kicks me back in the ass.."
Your question would lead me to wonder what your body is trying to self medicate:
Do you need support for edgy stressed out feeling?
Are you feeding carb hungry gut bugs with the alcohol?
Is there some ADD involved, including a lack of dopamine and related brain chemicals?
