How to Drink Less
You don’t have to hit rock bottom. You don’t need to call yourself an alcoholic. And you definitely don’t have to commit to never drinking again if that feels too scary.
How to Drink Less is for anyone who’s ready for a healthier, more intentional relationship with alcohol—whether you’re just starting on your sober-curious journey, trying to cut back on drinking, or looking for a new way to control alcohol cravings without relying only on willpower.
Hosted by sobriety coach and hypnotist Adriana Cloud, this podcast combines practical neuroscience, psychology, and mindset coaching to help you:
—understand why you drink (and sometimes overdrink);
—retrain your brain’s reward system and habit loops;
—stop drinking on autopilot;
—manage cravings without feeling deprived;
—build confidence and emotional resilience as you drink less;
—feel more in control around alcohol.
No judgment, no scare tactics, and no pressure to be perfect—just practical tools and compassionate support from someone who’s been there.
As a former daily drinker, Adriana knows firsthand how challenging it can be to break a habit that's been decades in the making. Now, as a certified Gray Area Drinking coach and hypnotist, she uses her training and personal experience to help others take the leap and build the beautiful sober (or sober-ish) life they truly want.
