Sunnyside: Mindful Drinking Reviews

by Duhck95

So I downloaded Sunnyside to watch my drinking and I undownloaded today. Every week they recommend a plan for the next week and they recommend me MORE drinking… I had no drinking m-th, 5 drinks fri & sat, and then 3 drinks sun for my initial plan. I did better than expected and only drank on Saturday for a total of 7 drinks. They sent me their recommendation for the next week and recommended I drink on tues and thurs, as well as an additional added drink Friday and Sunday… So Sunnyside isn’t encouraging me to do better at all. It seems like an expensive glorified drink tracker and the texting to track messed up one time and didn’t even track my drinks (I sent 🥃🥃🥃 which should of meant three drinks but it counted it as one). Going forward I’ll just make my own plans and track them in my notes app. Sunnyside just seems like a glorified expensive tracking app. The only way I’d recommend Sunnyside is to someone who may need a person unknown to text to encourage them not to drink, but I personally never used this feature so idk how good it actually is.

I spent 2 years on Reframe. I loved Reframe and wouldn’t be where I am without it. I was no longer doing the readings, using it strictly to keep track of my drinks so I came to this app hoping to save a little money. And I kinda wanted a little change. I’ve tried dozens of tracking apps and most are useless. this app would absolutely work for most people.
this app and Reframe are very similar but one thing I don’t like about this app is there’s no option to opt out of text messages. I would like to do all of the work inside Sunnyside . There’s too much going on when I’m getting app notifications, text notifications and emails too.
I used it for two weeks and my dashboard never opened. I would like to see my progress in calendar form and it was supposed to open after one week of tracking. It keeps telling me to track for a week to open it. I don’t want to spend this amount of money on something I can’t experience total functionality of beforehand. I’m undecided in continuing to use it.

The service itself is great but Sunnyside won’t refresh — even after a true close and open — each time I try to view my next week’s plan on Sunday night and even Monday morning.

Fix Sunnyside — for $99/year this should be a better experience.

On a whim, I clicked on a random ad for this app and read about their philosophy and methodology. Having a background in psychology, it sounded reasonable, especially knowing that AA has only about a 35% success rate. I jumped in, and since then, I’ve been positively impacted by the structure of the program and the kindness and immediacy of their coaches. I honestly haven’t made much headway yet on my intake reduction (being a caregiver of at least four people, including my parents, husband and teenage son), but at least I’m looking at my habits and being accountable. I have increased my “dry nights” which gives me hope. I am slowly drinking less and the coaches hold me with great compassion and encouragement. It might not be the perfect fit for everyone, but for now, It’s a great mirror, and hopefully I will get better as my life, my discipline, and self-reflection improve.

I’ve been wanting to cut back on drinks- especially the “just because” or the “one more than I really actually wanted” drinks. I’m acutely aware of the negative effects of alcohol and I’m also not interested in eliminating it from my life entirely at this time. I’ve tried another app before and it just didn’t work. Too many assignments, lots of education that seemed like thinly veiled guilt. I’m only a month in but I’ve had a lot of success limiting drinks by being mindful and with check ins. The automatic texts make it easy and the community entries are a supportive way to see others who are looking to improve, not necessarily abstain. I know vacations and nights out will still happen, but having a plan to think about my choices ahead and not feel bad if I miss has been great. I’ve actually cut back more than I thought and had more dry days this month than in the last several months combined. Definitely recommend!

Seriously! Tracking how much I have to drink in a day has made me so much more aware of why I choose to pick up a drink in the first place. Now, instead of always picking up a drink, I’m asking myself what I really need in that moment, and thanks to the kind and gentle suggestions from this app, I’m able to pick healthier outlets. I have a tendency to be really hard on myself when I can’t accomplish a goal that I’ve set out to do, and that has been my story with alcohol consumption for the last five years. But having little text reminders and coaches reaching out with only positive feedback and reinforcement, I realized I don’t have to be so mean to myself when I don’t reach my goals right away because I’m really starting to full understand that progress just simply takes time. Getting to the root of the issue versus just trying to change the behavior on my own has been transformative.

I have been wanting to cut back on my alcohol consumption for a few years now. I’m super health conscious and wanted to take it to a new level by cutting back on my drinking. It was easier for me to not drink at all for several weeks than was to cut back or cut out drinks entirely during a particular week.. Somehow I ran across this app and it has been remarkable how much it’s helped me.
When I began the program, I was having an average of 15 drinks a week. Now I’m down to six and aiming for four drinks a week total. I think the reason the program works is that it helps a person to be thoughtful about how many drinks they plan to drink in a week or in a day.
After a couple of weeks, you feel so good that you want to even do better than the goals that you set out for yourself.
Frankly, this was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself, to sign up for this app.

I’ve been working in the food service industry most of my adult life and it’s easy to get caught up in the world of drinking. Not only to decompress after a grueling shift, but we are also better at our job if we learn about the alcohol industry and are usually genuinely interested the way chefs are about food. So I’ve drank more than necessary this past decade but decided recently that as much as I appreciate learning and enjoying my drinks it was time to cut back. I manage to track everyday but I don’t always hit my goals, but I have never felt so supported in this journey until using this app. It took a long time to create this habit so I know it’ll take a long time to break it. I feel no pressure when I fall short, only inspiration to keep going. Thank you to the coaches and everyone else who publishes their responses to the prompts. It’s a great community you’ve created here!

by Levidog1!2@3#

Overall I like Sunnyside and have changed my drinking habits for the better because of it. The coaching and community support are helpful. It's great to read and respond to what a others are going through.

One thing I don't like is that I feel the amount of calories it shows you avoided and the amount of money saved is misleading. I've noticed I'm eating more now that I'm drinking less, so I'm not really avoiding the calories from drinking completely. They've shifted. And the amount saved reported to me is based on paying for drinks out someplace. Almost all of my drinking happens at home and that's a ton cheaper than going out. These aren't any reason to not use the service. Just gripes I have.

As I said in the beginning, Sunnyside has helped me be aware of my drinking behavior, make positive changes, and have a plan and support. I like it.

by Amyneallovaas

I’ve always been a drinker, but over the last few years, I’ve definitely become a heavy drinker. More than I want to, especially on the weekends, but even during the week - a bottle of wine at least, sometimes more. I’ve tried to cut back on my own or do dry months, but nothing works bc the whole time I’m just waiting for it to be over so I can drink again.
Then I found this app, and it just clicked. The philosophy of being mindful about my drinking instead of trying to quit drinking is the key I needed to cut back and change my habits. The practice of tracking my drinks and thinking about each one made me realize I just don’t need as many.
I don’t want to quit drinking. I just want to be mindful about my drinking instead of mindlessly throwing back a bottle or 2 of wine for no reason. Now when I do drink, I enjoy it more. And when I don’t drink at all during the week, I feel great!! Thank you, this app!! Truly, your system works and I am so grateful!!

I hesitated to sign up for an annual membership to this app because of the price, but I’m so glad I did. So much support is available in whatever form or forms works for you: the community forums, daily journaling, accountability/tracking, and real live people that will text you back almost anytime of day or night. Sunnyside and texting has been really easy for me to use and I have cut back from 7 - 8 drinks per week to 1 - 2 drinks per week almost effortlessly, thanks to this app. also, there is never any judgment from the coaches, or from the community and my experience. Even if you totally screw up your goals, and whether you want to quit drinking completely or just cut back, you will have their support regardless. I highly recommend for anyone who wants to be a little bit healthier and a little more present.

by More Sunshine Than Wine!

I began drink tracking with this app a month ago (30 days). It has already helped in several ways: I now know just how much I was drinking on average per week; have been encouraged by the program/app to set goals for cutting back, to continue tracking; and consistently notified about specific progress. You are encouraged, but not required to “share” your experience, but Sunnyside offers a “community” where you can post or view feedback. Coaches are available if you need them. So far, I’ve pretty easily cut my wine consumption in half; am sleeping much better; and am slowly able to stick to the changes. If you want to curb your alcohol, to take control of the role drinking plays in your life, but need a helping hand, give this program a try! I stumbled on this via Facebook. Wish I had joined earlier.

by Suzette32

UPDATE: I’ve now been using Sunnyside for a month…I have cut down my drinking significantly…maybe 2-3 drinks all week! Sunnyside is so great for many reasons. I highly recommend it for the SMS (text message) reminders so you stick to tracking. Completely worth the investment - I’m already feeling healthier AND it’s paid for itself in what I’ve saved by not drinking - and then some!

ORIGINAL REVIEW: I used a more popular app and this one is much better for several reasons. #1, the notifications to track make it super easy and helpful. The other app I was using had a lot of daily expectations - reading and such - whereas this one has a more realistic approach AND it sets up a plan for the next week to realistically reduce intake by a percentage from the last week. The other app, you had to set them yourself. I’m only on the first week of using this but I love it so far and will def do the annual subscription roughly $8 per month. So worth it

by Lindaliveswell

I knew I needed to cut back on my drinking for my health and relationship, but I was not ready or willing to stop completely . When I saw the ad for this app, I thought, “Why not give it a try?” I signed up for a year, thinking it would take me that long to get where I wanted to be.

From the very beginning, I cut back. this app encourages you to set your own schedule and reminds you and encourages you daily. I got to the point that I didn’t want to disappoint my “Coach” ( or myself) by failing to meet my daily goal. I’ve been in the program less than a year, and I have cut my consumption from 14 or more drinks a week to 3-4 and I am happy with that. I sleep better, remember better, and my husband has stopped worrying about me.

If you are an habitual drinker who wants to regain control, I heartily recommend this program!

by PerryChick

If I’m honest, I enjoy drinking and it’s part of my life. But coming out of COVID, I was drinking plenty and it wasn’t very intentional. That’s the word that mattered to me. I wanted to be more intentional about drinking as opposed to just drinking without thought. this app has helped me to do that. It introduces a consistent daily routine of intention by helping you to plan your intended drinking for the week and then tracking it daily. Just that repetitive pattern of intention has made a huge difference. Yes I’ve had a lot less to drink in the last month which is great. But, more importantly, I am back to being intentional. Making active choices as opposed to just being reactive to situations. If I go over an intended drink count on a given day, I am very aware of it and do it very intentionally. And I don’t feel bad about it as long as it’s intentional! I’ve only had one day since using this app where I had more than I intended. I was bummed but the rest of the month has gone great so I am celebrating that! The value is in the routine. Automated messages come regular from coaches too and if you reply, they actually reply in real time which is great. Overall I think this is a great concept and has been well executed.

by Als Cals

This application has helped me decrease my drinking. I find the reinforcement from the days when I am drinking less than I had agreed to cut done very helpful. I think the most important thing to start with is you have to make a commitment to this process and really want to do it. I lost my husband 3 1/2 years ago and have steadily had at least 3 strong gin martini’s every day. I didn’t start until 5 in the afternoon and would follow my 3 drinks with one or two glasses of wine. Last weekends I had 3 days of no drinking and I haven’t had gin for 3 weeks now only wine. Except for once. I know that the amount of alcohol was killing me, but I didn’t care. Losing my husband has been so painful.
So I decided to try this program. I can say it is helpful. The fact I can have a drink without condemnation has allowed me to continue. I appreciate the support. My goal is , I’m not sure yet. But my checking account is much happier . And I’m sure my liver is also. Thank you for this program. I really don’t like the AA program. But this I really like.

by Funitis

When I found Sunnyside, I wasn’t sure what to exit t. At first it seemed annoying with the texts reminding me to be mindful and encouraging me to set goals. Then I realized I liked that and it was working to help me stop and/or cut way back. The support and explanations of why we often drink without thinking about it is awesome. This is not just stop drinking idiot. This is learning why we do it in the first place, and assessing it that’s good. The community where you can share your progress and read other people’s posts is really helpful. I post almost everyday. I can’t believe how much better I feel on my 14th day dry. I didn’t really acknowledge how much I was drinking before I started this, I just knew it was too much. Now I’m accountable and that has kept me on track. One thing I’d update is sometimes the automated messages don’t fit the situation. If you don’t drink on Friday when you had a planned drinking day, but you drink on Saturday that was a planned dry day, the message is basically you got off track but keep trying. Those messages need to be tweaked. Overall, I’d highly recommend this to anyone trying to become more mindful of their drinking.

by Hockeyman20sol

I knew I was drinking too much but I didn’t realize how much until I started the daily drink tracking. As an example, my target yesterday was 5 drinks and I golfed. On a normal golf day, I would have 3 to 4 beers or Trulys before we teed off. 4 to 5 more on the course and 2 to 3 in the clubhouse. Then go home and have 2 to 3 glasses of wine with dinner - wow, that would be let’s be generous and say 12 drinks. Most likely feel lousy in the morning and foggy about the end of the night. I have now quit drinking before and during golf. Exception was yesterday, a good friend I haven’t seen since i started with this app, brought the usual bag of beers. I had my water and Gatorade. I finally gave in about the 13th hole and had one since he had Canadian beer! Not bad, only 1 until we finished. A drink and a wine after the round and 3 wines at dinner. Ok, my target was 5 and I had 6, but a vast improvement over the usual 12 or 13 on a golf day and I am still on target for the week! Tracking is awesome and keeps you mindful and accountable every day. I know many will say you still drink like a fish, but I am working on it and doing much better. Thank you this app!

by Melmmrun

I have struggled for a very long time with once I start I can’t stop.. very cliche but so true.. some thing in my brain takes over.. I would never let it effect my everyday life though.. my motto was ‘no pain no gain’. Get up from a night of drinking mostly wine and go out and run 8 miles. The whole time I was running I would think why can’t I control myself like everyone else. This was my daily discussion in my head until the day I was watching a tick tock and some women talked about this app really working without having to fully give up alcohol. I have tried it all like every fad diet. But this one seemed different or maybe be this time I was just ready to finally make a change and for good.. so signed up..pretty simple.. track you drinks.. but with that I also read about helpful hints.. changing your thinking so many things… 1month in I am in control.. 54 years it has taken me.. the coaches who reach out are there if needed and the comments people write are uplifting and you realize you can control of your actions… I am not saying I am perfect but I am managing and think before I grab another bottle of wine.. today I thank this app.. I am really happy and appreciative.

by LoveWineTooMuch

Sunnyside is incredibly helpful on so many levels. I’m the type of person who is encouraged by supportive words, and Sunnyside does that. There is no negative feedback. If I’m over the goal that I set myself, it suggests gentle ways/tactics that might help me improve. Instead of just a drink because I feel like it, or because something has upset me, I think about the trigger now, which has helped me. Keeping track on a daily basis of my alcohol intake helps me see my trends and helps keep me accountable - all in a good way. I’ve tried other apps, but they just didn’t work for me. With this app, I feel like I have a “secret friend” who’s always there for me. After many, many years of drinking too much, I’m definitely drinking less than I did before Sunnyside. And, since it’s such a supportive app, I don’t feel like I’ve been “bad” if I’m not perfect. With Sunnyside, I can still drink, but have learned to drink less and feel better about myself… and still allow myself leeway for vacations and other special events.

by Merp2121

I have always had a difficult time being consistent with goals. The gym, eating right, taking multivitamins, you name it. My alcohol consumption was consuming my after work home life, and I was really feeling the effect from it. The sleepless, tossing turning, night sweats nights the anxiety and depression etc. Sunny side was and is my saving grace.

I’ve been able to be consistent and maintain it for the past month. I’m hopeful for the this next month to continue this streak. They are personable, if you’re craving a drink they don’t put you down for it instead they talk to you and recommend things you can do to a) keep you busy, b) suggest having a cocktail or whatever. The support system is amazing too. You fill out daily prompts and you can respond to others as a support community.

Sunny side has saved my relationship with alcohol and has allowed me to become more mindful in my drinking habits. I’ve shed a few pounds on the way too because I’ve been able to track my drinks. Striving for another dryish month!

by Deanna99

It’s probably true that I was just ready for it at this moment, but Sunnyside is really working. Whether you are interested in cutting back, quitting, or just being more honest with yourself about your relationship to alcohol, Sunnyside helps you stay aware of your habits and make conscious choices. The coaches are very encouraging and positive. My one suggestion would be that the reminder about your days decision coming at 6:00 PM, at least that’s when it comes for me, was often a little too late. I would be better off if it came at 4:45 or 5 PM. One last plus is that it doesn’t necessarily require you to go to Sunnyside to track. Sometimes I needed the simplicity of having someone reach out to me to keep me honest. I really appreciate the simplicity of it. Highly recommend.

by Jakeplummer

Years ago I tracked alcohol consumption by paper and it worked really well but then I stopped and became mostly a mindless drinker. Probably not any moreso than other traveling execs but that’s still way higher than the doctors recommend.
I like planning out the week, I like getting the prompts by text, I like the dashboard on Sunnyside , I like being able to keep a mini journal on what my experiences are, I like looking into the community and reading what people are experiencing (even though I don’t actively participate, at least not yet). I like knowing there are coaches available even though I haven’t used them yet. It’s making it easy for me to be a mindful drinker - am I enjoying this drink? Is it special? Does it merit to be one of my planned drinks for the week? How do I feel when I’m not drinking - do I want more of that? When I am drinking what are the motivations and feelings I have? And hey how am I doing with my numbers - am I staying true to goal, am I doing even more/less than I thought? Overall - I like it. I’ve been using this for about a month and plan to keep going. Sunnyside and text messaging keeps it easy.

by DeeGaye-0614

I joined the this app App/community somewhat reluctant because I am very skeptical, in general, of claims that something will actually result in change. But Sunnyside, in 33 days now, has transformed me. After regular daily drinking for 20+ years, I am 30 days dry today. I would never have believed this possible 33 days ago. I think for me this was possible in part because I have combined a lot of self education on alcohol and how it affects our brains, other organs, and our health in general. The progress data that Sunnyside provides is personalized for me and is very motivating. For example, after 33 days I have saved $952 and 14,900 calories! And this holds true because in this one month I am down 4 pounds. I know I had the ability to accomplish this all along, but it took this app to pull it out of me! Thank you this app! I feel like our journey has just begun!

by Older Wise Woman

I had been drinking my way through the pandemic and never questioned my drinking habits. Until I realized I was habitually drinking every night with increases in amount and alcohol content (wine drinker mainly). this app has given me a plan for my drinking based on the amount of days and drinks that I was currently doing. My goals were to become healthier and also to lose weight. The plan they put in place was more than doable, and also made me much more mindful because there are props to ask you how many drinks you had the night before. I am drinking less and feeling better physically. I highly recommend Sunnyside to anyone who wants to take a look at their drinking and make better choices regarding their alcohol habits.

by Wilingness

I had 2 glasses of wine every night and never managed to kick the habit more than a month. Sunnyside has helped me stay accountable and mindful. I feel so good not drinking now, and when I do choose to have a drink it’s rare that I want more than one glass of wine.
On my birthday I gave myself the option to drink more, and I like that flexibility to do so guilt-free and also as a very conscious choice. The next day I went right back on plan of zero drinks without the feeling of “falling off the wagon.”
It’s funny how getting those green circles meant so much to me, but it’s what got me past the challenging stage of sticking to the plan. Now I feel so good physically, and have learned how to talk myself out of drinking, that I feel in control of it and that feels even better!

by Mel7210

Sunnyside has made me a lot more mindful of my alcohol consumption. With check-ins daily (without being over the top), they make it so easy to track your drinks, make weekly plans for dry vs. drinking days, and give you access to a community of people with similar goals and obstacles. The coaches texts are personalized to you and their responses to your texts are personalized - nothing is canned or automated. I also appreciate that they don’t make you feel bad for slipping up on a plan - yes, you can see that you didn’t stick to it, which is helpful, but they are positive and encouraging about continuing to move forward and starting a new day. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for an easy way to be more mindful about their alcohol consumption!

by Mag908

I have wanted to cut back on my alcohol for years but never could for more than a day or two and then I had a medical condition caused directly due to alcohol and my doctor had tried to get me to stop drinking COMPLETELY. I didn’t want that, I would never achieve my goal if it meant I couldn’t drink again. With this app I have to be accountable for my choices and it makes me constantly aware of the goals I set for myself. I went from 3+ drinks each night to 3 per week! I was over the recommended consumption for women by day two and now I haven’t reached that since I started (Thanksgiving holiday excluded)! I highly recommend it and have to friends who want to cut back! A must for those who want to feel good about themselves!!

by Titannia XX

I’ve tried for years to cut down my alcohol intake, no go totally sober but to be a more social drinker rather than every day drinker. This is the only program I’ve found that works for me. When you become mindful of how much you’re drinking and why, it really makes you stop and think and ask yourself do I really want or need another one. Doing the dry days to me was the hardest at first but now it’s so much easier. And when you feel so much better the next day it inspires you to keep going. The forum with everyone else helps so much too. Others with similar issues all helping and encouraging one another. Give it a go! The coaches are there when you need them for inspiration also. Just overall a great program.

by -OregonMamaof4

Cutting back on drinking is difficult, doing it alone is even harder. With this app I have been able to make realistic goals for myself and with the support of the wonderful “coaches” with their daily check ins and encouragement I have more tools on my tool chest for cutting back on drinking or having dry days all together. Their approach is helpful with out an ounce of shame. Sunnyside and the coaches want you to succeed, whatever that means for you.

The weekly graphs showing my amounts, my goals and a predicted overview has been eye opening and so helpful.

Whether you want encouragement to stay sober for a day or a lifetime, or just cut back from 4 drinks to 2, I would highly recommend this app App and the community here. I feel empowered and encouraged and thankful for the accountability. ♥️

by MichaelAllenO

Sunnyside really helps! I’ve only been on it about a month but it has really helped me in my approach to drinking. Having attainable goals and knowing what benefits you want to receive is so important. While I haven’t been perfect, I’m doing far better than I was. Knowing your goal for the day/week helps with mindful drinking. It has also helped me find alternatives to drinking especially at those points where I may be at my goal and would normally continue to drink. Whether it’s nonalcoholic options, exercise, reading, meditating, prayer or just going to bed early. And there is lots of support. From the coaches to other members who are going through the same experience. I highly recommend Sunnyside if you want to cut down on your drinking but still want to do it socially and responsibly.

by Brittanyatoz

I love the this app App so far. I downloaded it and gave the free trial a shot after I had entirely too much “fun” at thanksgiving and woke up with nothing but guilt and regret. I had been wanting to make a change in my drinking habits and that night was my sign. I love the simplicity in the layout and that I can customize my weeks around any social functions or events that I may want to drink at. But overall it’s a great “accountability button”. It helps me to know I’m going in to a planned dry day and hold myself accountable for sticking to it. It’s been so great so far! Also the community platform is wonderful! Everyone can share their thoughts, feelings and stories in a judgement free way. And everyone encourages one another so it’s so nice!

by Cocowoody

I’ve used this app for a year now. It has helped me so much from free drinking to mindful drinking. That’s the point of this app — to help you cut down on the number of drinks you might have in any given situation. It’s so easy to say “Sure, I’ll have another glass of wine.” But if you have reached the number of drinks you have allotted for yourself that day, it makes you stop and think about it. It’s rare that I will go over the amount I have allowed myself, but it does happen on occasion and then I will make it up later on during the week by having one less drink. The program keeps me focused and accountable to myself. I really love this program and I have friends who also love it. Try it! You’ll like it!

by Getsherman

I’ve been tracking so far now for over a year and had my best week last week. I have work to do and I I’m so glad that I have a partner with this app. The encouragement and daily tips along with the tracking it’s just what I need! All of this at my own pace!

by Mejaiwoohoo

Helped me take my life back into my control!!! The coaches are real people and is an amazing added touch when cravings are too high!

by Neona503

this app has completely changed my relationship to alcohol. Having access to a drink tracker and peer coach has proven invaluable. Saving money and losing weight are just two of the benefits. Worth every penny.

by NickNella

I’ve been using this app for a couple of years now and it’s had a profound impact on my drinking habits. I’m sleeping better, waking up with more energy and generally just feel healthier. It’s great!

by Amanda8955

I’ve really made a turn in improving my drinking habits in the last year or so, and having Sunnyside by my side to continue on this path is extremely helpful!!

by DriverContractorDude

I’ve been using this app for over a year to help moderate my drinking. The text service has been incredibly effective, and Sunnyside is a great addition to the experience. Can’t wait to see what they add next.

by KenMori007

Love Sunnyside to keep me healthy and energetic. Keeps me disciplined for dry days but still enjoy partying on weekends albeit more self aware and therefore drink less. Try it, you will see your life improve!

by Carly NTSO

A quiet non judgmental “friend” in your phone that encourages you to be honest about your habits and then set goals for yourself and stick to them. Interact as much or as little with the coaches as you like, via text (or just count your drinks and see trends over time)

by Dee Nati

I have been struggling with how much I drink. I was waking up in the mornings questioning myself and the choices I made. I needed to be held accountable for what I was drinking and why. I'am only 3 weeks in however, I have gained much insight as to why I was drinking so much.
I love the accountability Sunnyside gives me. I plan on meeting my goals and becoming a mindful drinker.

by Triple E81

this app has been a catalyst in assisting me in creating a healthier relationship with alcohol. After a year and a half of tracking, I haven’t had any hangovers and have a lot more energy and better sleep. The coaches are awesome - always there with a tip or encouragement when you’re struggling. Highly recommended app for anyone who wants to build mindful habits around alcohol consumption.

by Mr. Gabriel Wolf

At the beginning I have to admit I was quite skeptical about these services but I said let’s give it a try. I tried Reframe and other similar services but no luck.
Now I am using this app for 2 years and it changed my life. It’s incredible how the subconscious determines drinking alcohol and how much Sunnyside helps with drinking moderation.
Mindful drinking is indeed the way to go!
PS: I love their coaches, feels so good to know there’s someone out there for you!

by Krisgo3

I have always had a few drinks during the week, but with the stress of the pandemic, I began to drink more heavily. I started this app a few months ago, and it has helped me take a more critical look at my drinking habits. My goal is to not drink during the week and to stick to a predetermined number of drinks when I do, and Sunnyside has definitely helped me to be accountable and stick with my plan. Definitely recommended!

by Milanthakor

I have been looking for an easy to use way to moderate my drinking and track my alcohol consumption. this app is such a beautiful, intuitive app that just gets the feel right for helping me be happier and healthier. I use it to set goals and track my drinking and set intentions around my week to be healthy and happy. I love the support for having a beer, cocktail, or wine a few times a week and not being judged but supported to drink reasonably and responsibility and cut back my drinking through tracking drinks with Sunnyside.

I drink too much and that’s a fact. I don’t drink and drive, I don’t drink and fight with my wife, I just drink and the next day say “ Did I drink that much vodka?”… and it makes me fat.
So I started with Cutback Coach and it really helped, but the simple text system was a little clumsy. I’d forget to text or get busy and not follow up. With the addition of the this app App I can be much more accurate and catch myself before I overdo it. The texting is still very important. It’s constantly reminding you to check in and helps to get a grip on things. I really like the this app/ Cutback Coach system

this app helped me stop drinking daily and now I only have a few drinks when out with friends. I’m way more mindful now when I’m at bars and even when I do make a mistake and have too much I’m nicer to myself and don’t get as depressed. So
much better for my mental health and instead I focus on getting rid of my hangover and exercising. I’ve learned so much about myself and tracking in the moment is a fun challenge. Shining the light on your habits is seriously life changing. I’ve completely reframed how I think about alcohol. No pressure to be sober ever. No judgement. Just health and wellness.

this app is awesome if you’re looking to track and moderate your drinking. It’s simple and low friction but still helps provide motivation and data to help you meet your goals. Started as a texted based service which made it really easy but it lacked functionality to review your results. It’s still primarily text based which is good but they just released Sunnyside to improve setting your plan for the week and reviewing results. I’m sure Sunnyside will keep getting better and I recommend the service to anyone who will listen.

I just can't speak highly enough about this app! I wasn't looking to cut out alcohol completely but rather reframe how I thought about it. I knew I was sober curious and I knew I wanted to drink less but I also knew that the only app that would work for me would focus on mindfulness, wellness and take a whole body approach to what I wanted to do. this app checked off all the boxes! It helps me keep track of my drinking and gradually reduce over time at my pace. And the coaches are always there when I need them. I feel healthier, and happier! If you're at all on the fence you should definitely download Sunnyside and give it a try, you won't be sorry.

I wanted to make changes to the way I consumed wine and alcohol. I didn’t know the best way to start or how to create a gradual plan to reduce consumption. I found Sunnyside and what I really like is that it creates a weekly plan based on my quiz results. I can just follow the plan, but if I want to make adjustments I can. I love that it tracks my trends. Based on my trends I am able to see which days are triggers. I can work to alleviate the things that cause stress or anxiety.
Sunnyside shows you how much money you’ve saved or how many calories you’ve avoided. I’m a numbers person so seeing it in terms of dollars and cents or calories burned helped me to appreciate my progress even more.
It’s important to stress that Sunnyside isn’t trying to eliminate wine or alcohol from your life. It seeks to help you consume less and to help you become aware of moments that cause you to get off track. There are coaches and a community so there is support. There is no pressure and because it is anonymous, you can be transparent about your journey!

I was skeptical about joining this app at first but boy am I glad I did. It starts by holding you ac countable for making goals and sticking to them. Somehow when you look at the number of drinks you had in a day or no drinks it is motivating. It really makes you think about how much you want to drink vs how much you are actually drinking. So far Im staying on target of 0 drinks this month. There is also a community section where you can text your feelings. You come to find you are not alone in this and people are basically the same. So encouraging and no judgment. In the end, its always up to you but this is a great support network to help you along. I don't want to stop drinking altogether but I do want to learn to stick to my goals of a certain number of drinks. This will help me.

I knew I was drinking too much, even though I was drinking the same as everyone around me. I was needing a way to be active in my choices around alcohol.

this app is a support system without judgement. I was able to look at my habits and do things differently. It changed my entire relationship to alcohol, but more importantly my relationship to myself. It holds me accountable, which allows me to do the same in turn. I have recommended this to all my friends. It doesn’t matter what your end goal - there is room for everyone - but if you are ready to look at your relationship with alcohol, this app is a must.
