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.

44. After Dry January: Taking a Break vs. Making Lasting Changes
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Dry January is almost over. What next?
Whether you completed Dry January, stopped early, or didn’t attempt it at all, this episode will help you decide how to move forward, especially if your goal is to change your drinking in the long term.
I talk about the difference between taking a break from drinking and making sustainable changes to your relationship with alcohol. While taking a break can be helpful on its own, if you want to create change that lasts, you need a different approach.
I cover:
- what often happens after Dry January ends (including the rebound effect);
- the difference between a reset and changing the system underneath your drinking habits;
- how starting small—by working on one trigger—creates momentum if you're trying to drink less overall.
My new coaching offer, the Trigger Breakthrough, can help you do exactly that: change your drinking pattern in one specific situation where you normally drink more than you want to. Get all the details and apply here: https://www.adrianacloud.com/trigger-breakthrough
If you don’t want to go back to drinking on autopilot after January and you want the next steps on your sober or sober-curious journey to feel easier, this episode will help you see a clearer path forward.
