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.

23. What Else Is True?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When you find yourself thinking “I need a drink” or “A drink would feel so good right now,” this one powerful question can help you pause, shift your perspective, and choose what actually serves you.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• why cravings narrow your attention—and how to widen the frame;
• how to recognize that wanting a drink is only one part of the truth;
• how asking yourself “What else is true?” or “What else do I want?” helps you to make more intentional choices.
This isn’t about denying cravings or shaming yourself for wanting a drink—it’s about coming back to your agency, expanding your awareness, and reminding yourself that you’re more than your urges.
And if you’re looking for more support in building a healthier relationship with alcohol, I offer free consultations and would love to chat about whether we’re a good fit to work together. Use the link in the show notes to book yours today!
