Drinking with a Demon: The Real Cost of Alcohol Abuse, on a spiritual person

This is a topic very close to my heart and one I feel I must share…I encounter this conflict within myself and my clients the most, “to drink or not to drink”? As a highly sensitive and spiritually conscious person, I have to admit I still do not have the answer. But I would like to share the very real spiritual and energetic harm we do to ourselves when we drink to excess

The demon called “al-hahul” and why we call alcohol “spirits”

In ancient stories, Al-Kahul is described as a subtle, parasitic presence—neither dramatic nor monstrous, but patient. It attaches not through fear, but through the slow erosion of consciousness. Many religions ban alcohol as they are aware of the spiritual harm that can befall us if we drink to excess.

• Alcohol creates tiny cracks in one’s spiritual defences by wakening your energy body and opening your “crown chakra” the energy centre that links you to Divine energy and is at the top of your head.

• First thing to go when you consume to much drink is your clear thinking, you become cloudy, sometimes dizzy and woozy.. That’s the “energetic loss” from the top of your head.

• When you drink to excess, your body becomes too toxic for your Soul to inhibit: So your Soul literally exits your body, leaving your body as an empty vessel for another negative or lower energy to enter. There are disembodied spirits everywhere especially pubs and clubs and places where people drink or do drugs

• You become like an all you can eat buffets for negative spirits and lower Vibrational energies, also you have much lower inhibition and can end up compromising yourself with dangerous behaviour

• Alcohol is called a “spirit” as that is what the ancient alchemists knew it to be, to be able to change something

• Al-Kahul feeds on chaos, confusion, and emotional numbness and is described as a “soul eating demon”.

How to protect your Soul and energy body from Demonic attack , by not using drink as spiritual bypass

·       Do not drink every day, do not form the habit of allowing your body to become a toxic environment.. the Demon al-kahul  described as a subtle, parasitic presence—neither dramatic nor monstrous, but patient. It attaches not through fear, but through the slow erosion of consciousness.

·       Never drink to escape your feelings, do not suppress your true self ,numbing yourself, medicating yourself, instead be honest with any area of your life causing you pain let it out into the light of day and seek support healing if needs be

·       Practice Zebra drinking that’s where every second drink is non alcoholic

·       Never drink on an empty stomach and drink plenty of water

·       Take breaks from alcohol, let it out of your life for at least  three to four days in a row, see how much calmer and

My personal with the Demon of drink

·       Along the way on my own spiritual journey I discovered I just don’t like alcohol so much anymore. It has played a negative role in my own life for a long time. I am neither addicted to alcohol nor am I am alcoholic but I have experienced very negative personal ego experiences  where I knew without a shadow of doubt that I was not the only presence within myself.. I understood that we could be a conduit for Divine energy but I didn’t know we could also be a conduit for negative energy… I have said some of the most vile things ever, when I was drunk.. Things I didn’t even believe but said them anyway. In hindsight I know it wasn’t me.

A Healthy relationship to alcohol

·       The feeling of being drunk is one of the worst feelings for me, so I never go there now… Over the summer of 2025 I detoxed and it was beautiful. I had a upswing in my healing abilities. So much inner calm and mental peace and clarity.. I enjoyed myself so much and was okay being out in company and “not drinking”. Now I often don’t drink, I love that I have so much more time and energy the next morning. I love that I sleep better and don’t have that “muggy” cloudy headed feeling the next day.. I might get to a place where I never drink again, but I’m not there yet, but I am so very aware of the low Vibrational energy that alcohol can be and I don’t ever let myself be lulled into being a victim of the Demon of Alcohol or Al-Kahul again.

Peace and love
