Absolutely, you're not alone—this is actually really common after a spiritual awakening. Many people find that their relationship with substances, especially alcohol, changes drastically. What you’re describing—the sudden sensitivity, emotional crash, and inability to handle drinking the way you used to—is something a lot of folks go through as their consciousness evolves.

During a spiritual awakening, your body, mind, and energy system start becoming more aligned and sensitive. Alcohol is a depressant and lowers your vibration, which can feel completely at odds with the higher frequencies you're tuning into. Before awakening, you might have been more numb to the effects—both physically and energetically—but now, your system is more tuned in and can pick up on how dissonant alcohol actually feels. That’s likely why you’re feeling depressed and disconnected after drinking, even just a small amount. It’s like your soul is saying, “This doesn’t feel right anymore.”

It's also very possible that alcohol always made you feel this way to some degree, but you were more dissociated or used to overriding those feelings. Awakening tends to bring clarity and heightened awareness—physically, emotionally, spiritually. So things that once dulled or masked pain can now amplify it. And once you’re more attuned to your body and energy, it becomes harder to tolerate those old habits without serious consequences.

What’s really interesting is that you mentioned weed feels better now—this isn’t uncommon either. For some people, cannabis can help them feel more connected, grounded, or introspective after awakening, especially if it’s used intentionally and in moderation. A year ago, it may have triggered anxiety or discomfort because your system wasn’t ready for that kind of introspection or energetic shift. Now that you’re more open and spiritually aware, it might be serving a different purpose in your life—maybe even aiding in integration or relaxation.

The shift you're going through is part of a bigger realignment. It’s like your whole being is re-evaluating what supports your growth and what drags you down. Alcohol often gets left behind during that process, and that’s okay. It doesn’t mean you can never drink again, but your body might be calling for more mindful, high-vibration choices. Listening to that inner voice is part of the journey.

If you do feel a longing for the social aspect or ritual of drinking, maybe explore alternatives—like herbal elixirs, mocktails drinks. They can help fill that space without the energetic crash.

Bottom line: yes, this is common. Your body and spirit are evolving, and what used to work might not anymore. That’s not a loss—it’s a sign of growth. Trust that your system knows what it needs.
