Dear ghop,
I enjoyed reading your report. Funny, how we can think of normal behavior as bizzare. Well, that makes sense when we've lived with chronic nervous system dysfunction all our life (as we all do).
We can't predict the order of such benefits. One person will first have a need for an improved diet, another will stop smoking, another will stop craving sweets. In any case, when we feel clearer and more alive, naturally we will want to take care of our body a little better.
There are many other benefits that will come in time.
A truly efficient path to normalcy requires few rules of conduct. The enlightened person has all the self-control they need to live the life they want. And, by the way, "divine love" (that is, life-supporting ethics, the kind taught by Gautama Buddha and Jesus Christ) comes about spontaneously, too.
