In this episode of The Daring DVM Podcast, host Dr. Amy Grimm talks with sobriety coach Adriana Cloud about the role alcohol often plays in the lives of veterinarians dealing with stress and burnout. 🍷😵‍💫🍺

This conversation isn’t about giving up alcohol entirely or labeling it as bad—it’s about feeling in control of your choice to drink (or not) rather than using it as an automatic escape from long, exhausting days.

Adriana shares insights on the health effects of drinking, the mindset behind social and stress-related drinking, and practical strategies to create new ways to unwind that align with your well-being.

If you’ve ever felt like drinking is just the default after work, this episode will help you take back control—without judgment, just awareness and compassion for a very normal human experience. 💜
