Most drinking happens on autopilot. One minute you’re thinking about wine… and the next, the glass is in your hand.

In this short but powerful episode, I’ll teach you one simple practice that can help you interrupt that cycle and start making more intentional choices about drinking.

Inside, you’ll learn:

  • why most drinking happens automatically (and how to interrupt it);
  • how to use a 30-second pause to regain control of your drinking;
  • what questions to ask yourself before you pour a drink;
  • why reconnecting with your needs is more powerful than resisting cravings;
  • how to use the pause even after you've started drinking.

This tiny habit can lead to big transformations—because when you're in control of your choices, you're in control of your drinking. 

If you’re ready to stop feeling at the whim of your urges and want build a more mindful relationship with alcohol, I’d love to help. Book a free consultation via the link below and let’s talk about how coaching can support you in making lasting, liberating change.

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. Ready to change your drinking habits and feel better—for good?
