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.

When I tell people I’m a hypnotist, they usually picture one of two things: stage shows with people clucking like chickens… or some kind of mind control.
In this episode, I’m breaking down what hypnosis actually is, what it isn’t, and how I use it to help clients change their relationship with alcohol.
If you’ve ever wondered why you keep pouring a drink even when you’ve decided not to, this is where hypnosis becomes relevant. Because the problem isn’t a lack of information or lack of willpower. It’s that some behaviors have become so deeply ingrained that we do them on autopilot.
Inside this episode, I cover:
- how your drinking habits get wired into the unconscious;
- what trance really is (and that you're more familiar with it than you might realize)
- what hypnosis actually looks like in practice (no swinging watches in my sessions!);
- how hypnosis can help you change your relationship with alcohol, regardless of what your long-term goals are.
Hypnosis isn’t magic, and it’s not something done to you. It’s a co-creative process that helps you align your behavior with who you actually want to be.
If you’re stuck in knowing what to do but struggling to follow through, this episode will show you a different path to the changes you want to make.
