Your body only has a noticable lack of the vital mineral and nutrients called whiskey and valium.

No but really. If you look at it from a chemical standpoint (rememeber, all chemicals are eventually the same as the energies they correspond to).
If you really REALLy want to know whats up (I dont recommend this in general because it tends to have severly deleterious effects for months and or years.) But if you have struggled with this for a lifetime it is, perhaps, one of the least painful and bloody ways.
Read up on biochemistry and make a general chart of all the transmitters in your body that are biologically active ( Example. Both LSD and say Weed influence serotonin but their way of influencing it is different. LSD stays on the neurotransmitter and only becomes "active" once it disintegrates from the receptorsite, while weed uses the cannabinoid receptor but what you notice is an increase in serotonin + one of the usual chemical effects).
Such a indepth study of how they would, at least on paper, influence your biochemistry combined with finding legal mild potency alternatives for them. Such as ordering various foods or herbs that you know in large quantities simulate the efects desired.
Then just putting yourself on a general detox plan and using one herb at a time for several attempts and seeing if the affect is what you wanted. On and on and cataloguing your experiences in detail.
Since, there is so much more to life than just "relaxed/unrelaxed" but rather, the energies associated with relaxation on a chemical level are not understood. some people relax automatically when sober, some people sharpen up.
Once you figure out what your balance is by using the low potency legal versions. Then figure out how to boost that particular neurotransmitter group naturally and healtihy for an extended period of time.
After that is established, then you can definitevly say that, for example "my body has a definite lack of Gaba production"
After taht its just a matter of finding out why, which is usually uninteresting (a combination of past choices and reactions + environment + pre-incarnative and what not).
Most people seem to not get that you can use willpower in at least two ways.
Sit on your bum and will something to happen intentionally (meditation/magic)
Or
Figure out through the external apparatus what is bothering you by utilizing findings others have made.
Both utilize willpower just as much and develop it as well.
Willing your body to walk to the store and buy something like ginger root is not that different from willing your spirit to go around your head looking for the right switches to pull.
Except that its easier to track when you last ate ginger root than it is to "when did i last pull that imaginary switch X Y Z 4020"
