Summary

Are you mystified by your own drinking behaviors? Do you struggle to understand why you can occasionally easily moderate, while other times you spiral out of control?

Sobriety coach and hypnotist Adriana Cloud is here to share her decade-long journey with daily drinking. Although Adriana never identified as an alcoholic, she knew something about her relationship with alcohol felt off. And in this episode, she shares how this realization led her on a path of not only changing her drinking habits, but of deep personal development.

Listen in this week as we explore the impact of the think-feel-act cycle on our drinking behaviors, and how tapping into the unconscious mind through techniques like hypnosis can help disrupt old patterns and form new, healthier habits.

0:00.0	Does it ever feel like your drinking just happens to you? One minute you're cooking dinner and the next minute you're sipping a glass of wine and you have no idea how it happened. Or maybe you don't understand by some nights you stop while you're ahead and other nights you go really overboard. This is episode 408 and I'm talking with sobriety coach and hypnotist Adriana Cloud about the
0:21.5	think-feelach cycle and the power of the unconscious mind.
0:26.1	Whether you want to drink less or stop drinking, this podcast will help you change the
0:31.0	habit from the inside out. We're challenging conventional wisdom about why people drink
0:36.5	and why it can be hard to resist temptation.
0:39.8	No labels, no judgment, just practical tools to take control of your desire and stop worrying about your drinking.
0:47.6	Now here's your host, Rachel Hart.

1:01.8	So I am so excited today to have with you, Adriana Cloud.
1:05.4	So Adriana joined Take a Break as a coach last June.
1:10.3	And I have to say that I really quickly fell in love with her, not just because she's an amazing coach,
1:12.0	but because it's so rare for me to find someone who approaches the work of helping people with their drinking
1:16.6	from a place of non-judgment.
1:18.9	So we're going to talk a lot about her story with alcohol and how she became a coach.
1:23.7	But I will say, you know, she was a daily drinker for over a decade.
1:27.2	And like me, she never identified as an alcoholic or an addict, but I will say, you know, she was a daily drinker for over a decade. And like me,
1:28.3	she never identified as an alcoholic or an addict, but she knew that something about her
1:34.7	drinking felt off. She knew that she was drinking more than was healthy and more than felt good.
1:40.1	And all of that took her on a path, not only to completely change her relationship with alcohol, but a path of personal development and ultimately led to her becoming a sobriety coach and helping people also inside of take a break.
1:52.7	But she also works with people one on one.
1:55.1	So without further ado, Adriana, thank you so much for joining us.
1:59.3	Thank you, Rachel.
